Aiden O'Neill heads to Oldham on loan

The young Australian midfielder is hoping to gain more first-team experience with the League One strugglers

Young Australian midfielder Aiden O'Neill has made a deadline day loan move from Burnley to Oldham Athletic in League One.

The 18-year-old has made the move on loan for the remainder of the 2016-17 season as he looks to earn more game time.

O'Neill has made five appearances for Burnley's first team this season, including his Premier League debut in a 2-0 win over Liverpool in August.

"He is a good young footballer and good on the ball," Oldham manager John Sheridan told the third-tier club's official website.
