along with the return of Terry Dixon for the U21s, and James McCarthy's debut for the senior side, this is really the best news of the year so far
is the keeper of Aston Villa Bevan irish?
here's hoping he can get some game time in the first team between now and the end of the season. Or even a loan move (Forest maybe, it would be great expereince for him there, and they need a left back since Shorey went to Fulham).
But more than anything else. Here's hoping for no more serious injuries

Stephen played a handful of games for the reserves towards the end of last season, there's a short interview with him here on villa's website: http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/FootballN...041663,00.html
He went on to play the full game against Manchester United mentioned in the interview, which finished 3-3 and Villa eventually lost on penalties: http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/ReservesA...042175,00.html
That's excellent news, really do hope he gets a chance with Villa when the new season starts in August.
I remember being impressed by this lad when Stan led a merry troupe to the US. Absolutely hate hearing about players suffering knee injuries, especially potential heirs to Kilbane's throne!
Very pleased to hear he's tucking games under his belt again.
The first thing I thought when I saw this thread was that he'd either been injured again or released - relieved on both counts! Hopefully he'll start to make a case next season.
has he got a new contract yet?read on one of the threads here his contract ran out this season?
Watch this space.
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
been watching this space for about 2 years now, seems to be going in circles, the way you said that i thought hed be signing a new contract in the next couple of days or something.

Here ye go. As I said news was coming.
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
Thanks for the update rambler. I think it's the perfect move for him. I was worried that he'd struggle to find a Premier/Championship club and maybe have to go to Scotland or League 1/2.
At least this way he's not in the wilderness, and at 22 could potentially have a really good go at it if his knee holds up.
Terrific news. He was always going to struggle to break into the Villa team, with the likes of Warnock ahead of him. This can be a great move for him, and playing with Westwood hopefully means Trap will get the chance to cast an eye over him (and the other half dozen or so there).
Good manager at Coventry as well

O'Halloran made his first senior appearance in two years a few weeks ago for Coventry as a substitute

Managed to fly in under the radar but I figured some good news was in order what with Meyler.

Two cruciate injuries later, but only 23. IF he can get a injury free run to the end of the season, may well be one to watch out for. Certainly showed potential in the past
Played the full 90mins at left back in a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace in the Cup. Good to see.

He was responsible for giving away a penalty right after Palace had pulled their goal back, but Westwood bailed him out by saving it.
Boothroyd complimented him anyway:
""(Stephen) O'Halloran & Carl (Baker) were also outstanding today, from Stephen in particular, you can see the different dimension he gives us."

Apparently O'Halloran is their first natural left back to play at that position this season.

Still only 23. I really hope his injury woes are behind him.
Glad to hear he played well. I seen the goals and Palace’s goal was caused by a bad header by the lad. He is bound to be a bit rusty after such a long layoff.
Always look on the bright side of life
He will definitely be an option for us if he stays injury free. Nice competition for Cunningham at the worst.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
