Young Leicester City striker Harry Panayiotou has joined Sky Bet League 1 side Port Vale on a one-month loan.
The talented forward, who turns 20 later this month, heads to Vale Park ahead of an important run of games for the Staffordshire outfit.
The first loan spell of Harry’s career will begin with a home clash against Scunthorpe United on Tuesday night, followed by games against Leyton Orient, Colchester United and Rochdale.
A graduate of the Leicester City Academy, Panayiotou burst onto the scene on the final day of the 2011/12 season, when he scored a last-minute winner on his first team debut at Leeds United.
While yet to appear for the first team since, he has thrown himself fully into the Club’s development programme and has continually impressed as a member of Steve Beaglehole’s Under-21 squad.
A powerful forward and an instinctive finisher, Panayiotou continued to add to his growing reputation last week when he scored on his full international debut, after being called up by St Kitts and Nevis for their Caribbean Football Union Cup meeting with Barbados in Haiti.
He will join up with the Port Vale squad this week ahead of their midweek meeting at home to Scunthorpe United.
