Brad Young made his Villa debut in last season's FA Cup as part of a young side against Liverpool
Aston Villa have loaned forward Brad Young to League Two side Carlisle United on a season-long deal.
The 18-year-old turned professional with Villa in July 2019 aged 16 and made his one senior appearance against Liverpool in the FA Cup last January.
Young has been a regular for Villa's under-18 and under-23 sides, and played against Carlisle in last season's Papa John's Trophy group stage game.
"He's a player who works tirelessly," boss Chris Beech said.
"He has very good movement and an eye for goal, with an exceptional goals-to-games ratio as he's progressed through youth football."
The Cumbrians next play Port Vale at Vale Park on Tuesday, 17 August.
