Birmingham City sign Bournemouth winger Connor Mahoney on loan

Birmingham City have signed Bournemouth winger Connor Mahoney on a season-long loan deal.

The 21-year-old spent the second half of the 2017-18 campaign on loan at Barnsley, making eight appearances in the Championship.

Birmingham are able to sign five players this summer, albeit without a fee, after having a transfer embargo lifted by the EFL.

"I'm buzzing. It is a massive club to be at," Mahoney told the official Blues website.

"To have the opportunity to come here and hopefully play some games, it was something I couldn't turn down. I'm just excited to hit the ground running and meet the lads."

Mahoney is the third new signing at Birmingham following the arrival of Kristian Pedersen from Union Berlin and Omar Bogle on loan from Cardiff City.
