Aston Villa youngster Jaden Philogene-Bidace has found himself with a spot in the Championship team of the month after impressing during his first few weeks on loan with Stoke City.

The winger joined for the remainder of the season at the back end of January and has become one of the first names on the team sheet for the Potters in that time.

Philogene-Bidace, 20, started every game for Stoke during the month of February aside from the Bournemouth game last off in which he missed out after picking up an injury the week prior.

He was part of the Stoke side that dismantled Swansea City 3-0 at the beginning of the month, scoring his first goal for the club and picking up the man-of-the-match award for his efforts.

The young play-maker also completed the fourth most dribbles (13) in the Championship during the course of the February, leading him to a WhoScored.com rating of 7.52.

Elsewhere in Villa loan news and young forward Louie Barry is currently flying with Swindon Town.

Whilst the League Two team of the month hasn’t yet been released at the time of writing, it would be hard to imagine the teenager not being involved.

After a slow start to life with the Robins, Barry has really kicked on towards the back end of the month, starting the last four games.

The 18-year-old has bagged three goals in that time and has become a firm favourite among supporters.

After the successes of Kaine Kesler at the County Ground during the first half of the campaign, it’s safe to say Swindon fans are becoming quite fond of the young members of the claret & blue.
