Oldham sign Blackburn defender Olson on loan

Charlie Olson is yet to make a full senior appearance for Blackburn Rovers

Oldham Athletic have signed defender Charlie Olson on a season-long loan from Championship side Blackburn Rovers.

The 20-year-old spent time on loan with Altrincham in the National League last season and made 25 appearances for the club.

"I played here last year and it's by far the best atmosphere I've played in," he said.

"Oldham's a big club with great support, and I'm looking forward to the challenge of helping the team this season."
