Crewe Alexandra striker Lewis Reilly has joined National League North side Curzon Ashton on a one-month loan.

Reilly, 19, enjoyed a goal-laden spell lower down the non-league pyramid at Halesowen Town earlier this season & has now been challenged to replicate that form just two tiers below Sky Bet League Two.

He came off the bench at Forest Green in December to make his first league appearance for the Alex this season after also appearing in the Carabao Cup defeat to Fleetwood Town in August.

Reilly is planned to return to Crewe in early February & is eligible for five Curzon Ashton games including tomorrow's home clash with York City.

That run could also see him face Hereford, Nuneaton Borough, Darlington & Chester FC.

Best of luck to Lewis in his time away from the Club.
