United have added to their squad with the signing of winger Ashley Cain from Coventry City on an emergency loan.

The nineteen year old has great speed and can play on either wing. He has made one starting appearance for the Sky Blues plus five as a sub and joins United in time to face Kidderminster Harriers in the FA Trophy quarter final tomorrow.

Manager Chris Wilder told us:

"Ashley comes highly recommended by Chris Coleman at Coventry. We played a behind closed doors game against them recently and he impressed us greatly. He can play out wide or through the middle and has bags of pace and gives us an extra option. I know he sees this as an opportunity to impress and I think he will do very well for us."

Ashley's arrival is again thanks to the 12th Man Fund and Chairman Kelvin Thomas said:

"Once again the 12th man has come to the club's help. At this stage of the season we have to make sure that we have enough quality players at the club to get us through a probable 20 games in nine weeks. Having the 12th Man fund has given us the ability to do that, so well done to the fans once again. Ashley has impressed us and will be an asset in the coming weeks."

Meanwhile, U's midfielder Richard Groves has joined Tiverton Town on a one month loan.
