Aston Villa's promising Republic of Ireland under-21 international Graham Burke is off on loan to Shrewsbury Town on loan until January. Former Villa boss Graham Turner has hammered out a deal with current Villa chief Paul Lambert to take the talented forward and gain some first team experience.
Burke made his first team debut for Villa as a substitute in a League Cup win over Tranmere Rovers last season.
"He's a very good footballer," said Turner. "He can play off a striker or he can play wide. He's been with Aston Villa's system and more often than not has played wide."But we've seen him play just off a striker and he's just a good footballer with a good perception of the game.
"He's somebody we've been after for two or three months but his involvement with the first team through pre-season has delayed his signing.
"He actually went to Germany with the first team squad and has played in some of their pre-season games so he should come in match fit and ready to go so will obviously come into the reckoning at Leyton Orient."
