Cambridge United have signed West Bromwich Albion defender Wes Atkinson.

Atkinson, 20, who plays at right-back, signed his first professional contract with Albion in May this year.

"I struggled to sleep last night, I was both excited and nervous thinking about what it is to come," said Atkinson.

"My main aim is to help Cambridge, play well for them and show the fans what I can do."

Atkinson joins on a youth loan until 3 January.
