Oldham Athletic recruit Leicester City's Simonas Stankevicius on youth loan

Oldham Athletic have completed the signing of Leicester City striker Simonas Stankevicius on a youth loan.

The 19-year-old Lithuania international has signed a three-month contract with the League One club.

"I have seen quite a lot of League One games. It is very good quality and I cannot wait to play here," Stankevicius told the Oldham website.

"Leicester is a great experience but I need to start playing men's football. It's a big club but I need to get out now on loan and play."

Stankevicius has eight senior caps for Lithuania and featured as a substitute when they faced England in March.
