Bury Loan For Hopper

The 18-year-old forward heads to Gigg Lane for the first loan spell of his young career and will be in contention to play for the League 1 Shakers against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane this Saturday.

Tom joined the Foxes Academy two years ago following a spell with Boston United and signed his first professional contract with the Club in October 2011. He has been a regular in the City development squad and made his first team debut as a substitute in the 2-0 win over Swindon Town in the FA Cup back in January.

Tom’s spell with Bury will run up to and including Saturday 13 October, during which time the Shakers will play seven npower League 1 matches.
