Versatile Australian joins on loan deal until November 8
Bolton Wanderers have completed the signing of Aston Villa’s Chris Herd on loan until November 8.
The versatile 25-year-old goes straight into the Bolton first team squad and is eligible for Wednesday night’s Capital One Cup tie away at Chelsea.
A recently-capped Australian international, Herd has previously played at full-back and in the middle of midfield for Aston Villa.
He moved to Villa in 2005 from Perth, Australia, and has since gone on to make a total of 42 appearances in all competitions for the club.
Herd also experienced first team football whilst out on loan at Port Vale, Wycombe and Lincoln.
He will wear shirt number 29 during his time at Bolton.
