Shrewsbury Town have signed Aston Villa striker Graham Burke on loan until January.
Shrews boss Graham Turner has moved for the 19-year-old following an injury to frontman John Marsden.
"We've been after [Burke] for a few months, but his involvement with Villa delayed the signing," Turner told BBC Radio Shropshire.
"It's a shame for John having tasted his first League football to have broken a bone in his foot and he will probably be out for six to eight weeks."
Burke, a Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, has made just two first-team appearances for Villa.
