Royle Still After Loanees

Last updated : 07 March 2004 By Site Editor
Town have brought in 3 players on loan this season, two of which, Chris Bart-Williams and Shefki Kuqi, have been signed full time by the club, whilst Alan Mahon went back to Blackburn after his loan and eventually joined Wigan.

Town boss Royle feels his side needs a boost from another loan player, but is finding it hard to bring in the players he wants: "I've identified people I want to bring in but it's more a matter of waiting for them to become available, if they are at all." he commented.

"There's no point in bringing in someone who is going to be ineffective or just a squad player. Last time we used the loan system it worked for us. All three players who came in made an impact.Two have stayed here and continued to make an impact, to the point that we are still in the top six."
