Oldham Athletic have signed Chelsea youngster Ryan Bertrand on loan until the turn of the year.

The 18-year-old left-back has yet to break into the first-team picture at Stamford Bridge, with his only senior experience coming while on loan at Bournemouth last season.

He told the Latics' official club website: "I was a winger as a youngster and seem to have moved back over time, but I still like to get forward wherever I can.

"I'll also be looking to learn from the experienced defenders like Sean Gregan and John Thompson while I'm here.

"Hopefully they can show me a few things and add to my game."
