George Taft: Burton defender's Cambridge loan cut short

George Taft helped Burton win promotion out of League Two last season

Defender George Taft has returned to Burton Albion after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament while on loan at League Two Cambridge United.

The 22-year-old left-back played 13 times for the U's after joining on a six-month loan deal in July.

But he was taken off injured after 22 minutes of Saturday's 3-2 victory at Yeovil, and a scan revealed a tear.

"A huge thank you and best wishes to everybody at Cambridge, great bunch of lads and club," he said on Twitter.
