Manchester City are delighted with their capture of Swindon Town prospect Alex Henshall.

Henshall is an England U16 international and was also wanted by Liverpool.

City's Head of the Academy Mark Allen told the club's website: "We are delighted to welcome Alex to the Academy.

"He will provide excellent balance on the left hand side of the field and is an exciting addition to our existing group of players. We are looking forward to helping him develop even further following on from the good start to his career he had at Swindon Town."
