TEENAGE Burnley midfielder David Lynch has joined Blue Square North promotion challengers Stalybridge Celtic on a month’s loan.

Lynch moves to Bower Fold after completing a recent three-month spell with league rivals Droylsden.

Unlike Droylsden, Stalybridge operate on a full-time basis with a young squad under the guidance of former Morecambe boss Jimmy Harvey.

He will link up with ex-Burnley youth-teamer and cousin Chris Lynch.
