New Athletic capture Sam Graham
Athletic manager Frankie Bunn has bolstered his defensive options with the loan signing of Sam Graham from Sheffield United.
The 17-year-old has signed on a season-long loan from the Blades.
Graham is a central defender who has featured many times for Sheffield United under-23s last season.
He enjoyed a loan spell with FC Halifax Town last season and has made the step up to league football for the first time this season.
Bunn said: “He has pace, power and height. He is a young boy and has a willingness to learn.
“He is a talented player and has huge potential.
"He is a good character, person and has excellent values.”
