The 21-year-old full-back was involved in the Villains recent Emirates FA Cup game against Liverpool, setting up fellow-youngster Louie Barry to score Villa’s goal, and received a number of plaudits for his performance.

Manager Josh Gowling told https://www.herefordfc.co.uk: “We’ve been looking at Callum for a while now and watched the Liverpool cup game with interest. He had a great performance and showed his quality up against the likes of Mo Salah.

“He’s a player who has an eye for a pass, he’s good at one-v-one’s and I am sure he’ll add a great deal of quality to the team.

“We’ve got a good relationship with Villa and we’re pleased that we’ve been able to bring him in.

“We’re going into a period of games that sees us playing Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday, so we’re going to need a full-strength side”.
