Stoke midfielder Matthew Lund has joined League Two side Hereford on a months loan.
Lund, 20, is yet to make his Potters debut after, along with flying winger Ben Marshall, signing from Crewe Alexandra's academy in the summer of 2009.
The centre midfielder, who scored an impressive 18 goals in 24 games for Alex U18 in 2008/9, has been unable to get out on loan so far in his Potters career, usually due to him being needed as extra cover for the City first team, however, he has been a growing star in the Potters reserve team fixtures after a slow start in the Potters second string.
