Cambridge United have stolen a march on their relegation rivals with the capture of Rushian Hepburn-Murphy.
As we covered yesterday, the striker joined the League Two strugglers on loan from Aston Villa, but is poised for a big future in the game. He appeared seven times for Villa earlier in the season, six times in the Championship albeit as a sub.
He’s represented England up to Under 20 level too, making him a seriously good signing for the U’s. He’s not the first precious talent to come into the basement division, Tyler Walker has thrived at Mansfield and is blazing a trail for other exciting young players.
It’s fair to say both Cambridge and Aston Villa fans are delighted with this business. With a youthful, vibrant striker willing to get on the ball and attack players, Cambridge stand a great chance of beating the drop.
Here’s what their fans are saying, with some Villa reaction thrown in too.
