Manchester United youngster Cameron Byrne-Hughes has joined Bolton Wanderers’ academy on loan.
The 16 year old goalkeeper is just one of many young talents at the club right now.
Dermot Mee and new signing Hubert Graczyk play for the under 21s and Radek Vitek and Elyh Harrison are both currently out on loan at BW Linz and Chester respectively.
With Fred Heath and William Murdock also in the under 18s setup, it has been decided that Byrne-Hughes will get a chance to play regularly elsewhere.
The young keeper has joined Bolton according to X account Red Reveal.
United announced him in the squad for the Premier League u21 side but noted him as being on loan.
He played for the under 17s against Salford City last night and also kept a clean sheet for the under 19s against Morecambe at the weekend.

Byrne-Hughes will apparently be playing for different youth teams at Bolton but crucially will get getting some crucial minutes under his belt.
Last season the under 18s keeper had to step off the bench, making his debut and filling in as an outfield player versus Middlesbrough at Carrington.
With just five minutes remaining United picked up an injury and had already used their four outfield substitutes.
Luckily United were already 3-0 up and Byrne-Hughes helped his side cruise to victory even in unfamiliar territory.
The 16 year old will be hoping to gain some much needed matchday practice to return to United and stake a place as the regular under 18s keeper in the not so distant future.
