Forshaw claims historic FA Trophy win during quiet week for loans

Part One of this week’s ‘Loan Watch’

14 players are currently on loan deals away from the Club, across various leagues and countries, including the Danish Superliga, Scottish Premiership and German Bundesliga.

This tally includes players from the first team, U21s and U18s and below is a round up of how the first seven players, in alphabetical order, fared in this week’s fixtures.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell (AGF Aarhus)

There was no fixture for Peacock-Farrell's Danish Superliga club this week due to the international break, however the ‘keeper has featured twice for his nation Northern Ireland in the UEFA European Championship 2024 qualifiers, losing both times against Slovenia and Kazakhstan respectively.

The Danish Superliga returns following the break this Sunday, with 5th placed AGF welcoming Brøndby IF to Aarhus Stadium in what could potentially be the Northern Irish stopper’s next game with his loan club.

Benn Ward (Swindon Town)

Ward was an unused substitute for the Robins this week, in their 5-3 win against 23rd placed side Sutton United at the County Ground.

Jake Young struck twice for Swindon and former Claret Charlie Austin came up with two assists to ensure the home side secured a victory that leaves them sat 5th in the Sky Bet League Two table.

It’s a home game once more for Michael Flynn’s team this week, as they face Walsall at the County Ground on Saturday.
