Doncaster Rovers set to seal loan move for highly-rated Aston Villa starlet

Doncaster Rovers have reportedly won the race to sign Tommi O'Reilly on loan from Aston Villa.

The Birmingham-born forward has been attracting attention from clubs up and down the EFL this summer after enjoying a breakout campaign on loan at Crewe Alexandra last season.

O'Reilly registered 21 goal contributions over the course of the 2025-26 campaign at Gresty Road, and was named Crewe's Player of the Year for his efforts.

League One

Sheffield Wednesday were repeatedly linked with a loan move for the 22-year-old this summer as Henrik Pedersen looks to rebuild a newly-relegated side that has been ravaged by the club's ongoing financial difficulties.

However, while a move to Hillsborough ultimately did not come to fruition, it appears O'Reilly will still make his way to Yorkshire this summer.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Doncaster Rovers have moved into pole position to take the talented youngster on a season-long loan.

Grant McCann has already brought in a number of new signings over the course of the summer window, including Isaac Hutchinson from Bristol Rovers and Partick Thistle goalkeeper Josh Clarke.

The club have endured a difficult start to their second successive season in League One, with a 2-1 defeat by Mansfield Town on the opening weekend followed by a goalless draw with Barnsley.
