Workington Reds have drafted in a young striker on loan from Bolton Wanderers.

Yestin Shakespear has joined the Reds on an initial three-month loan deal.

The teenager is part of the League One club's B Team, currently on a third-year scholarship.

He will boost Mark Fell's attacking options at Borough Park early in the Northern Premier League Premier Division season.

Shakespear, 18, has been on Bolton's academy books for the last three years and will now gain first-team experience with the Reds.

Manager Fell said: "Yestin is well regarded at Bolton.

"He enjoys the physical aspects of the game and is a real finisher.

"He'll give us greater depth and options at the top of the pitch."

Shakespear was handed an extended scholarship deal with Bolton this summer after his original two-year scholarship was hindered by injury.

He is the latest young EFL loanee to link up with the Reds, following Kaedyn Kamara who earlier joined from Preston North End.

Midfielder Kamara has made a positive early impact in Fell's side, including an impressive goal on Tuesday's 2-0 win at Preston Cables.

Reds face another away trip to Ashton United on Saturday.
