Accrington Stanley have signed teenage Chelsea midfielder Jon Russell on a season-long loan.

The 19-year-old, who has played five EFL Trophy games for the Blues' academy side, has never played a league game.

He joins team-mate Tariq Uwakwe in moving to the League One club on loan.

"It's a big step and I've always wanted to play men's football, and I know it's going to help me in my progression as a footballer and improve my career," Russell told the Accrington website.
