Carlisle United have signed Aston Villa striker Michael Drennan on a one-month loan deal.
The 19-year-old Republic of Ireland youth international signed a new two-year deal at Villa Park last summer, but is yet to make his debut for the Premier League side.
"I spoke with Michael and he's hungry to play," Carlisle boss Graham Kavanagh told BBC Sport.
"He knows the importance of what's happening and what to expect in League One as he's done his homework on us."
Drennan could make his debut for the Cumbrians against Colchester United on Saturday.
