Accrington sign Catesby, Borland and Warren on loan

Accrington Stanley have signed Everton winger Joel Catesby, Aston Villa midfielder Aidan Borland and Bolton Wanderers striker Charlie Warren on season-long loans.

Catesby, 19, is yet to make a first team appearance for the Toffees and this loan move is the first of his career, having signed his first professional contract during the summer of 2024.

Borland, 19, had a loan spell in League Two with Swindon Town last season.

Warren joins the club for his second loan spell since joining Bolton last summer.

The 22-year-old spent half of last season on loan in the National League with Aldershot Town and scored seven goals in 23 appearances.

Accrington head coach John Doolan said: "Joel can beat a man, he has pace, and he sees the game. I have watched him over a period of time and it's a different option for us.

"Aidan is very technical. We want to push him on now, play him as an eight, and hopefully he will get goals and assists.

"We have been watching Charlie for an awfully long time, when he scored a lot of goals in non-league, that's when he came on my radar.

"He can play a number of positions, anywhere across the front line, as an eight, a 10, or as a centre-forward. He is mobile, he glides, he is good on the eye, and he knows where the net is."
