Foyle adds O'Connor

The 19-year-old moved to Vale Park on loan last week as boss Martin Foyle strengthened his squad.


Foyle decided to act to find cover at the back after being informed by the FA that Dean Smith's controversial red card in the defeat at
Chesterfield will stand.


O’Connor was a regular in Villa's second-string last season as they won the FA Premier Reserve League.


"I had to move quickly as we are short in numbers. James is a promising player who will slot in for us at right-back,” said Foyle.


"He is a player who I feel had a great future ahead of him. He should go to the very top and we are fortunate to get him for a month."
