Part One of this week’s ‘Loan Watch’
13 players are currently on loan deals away from the Club, across various leagues and countries, including the Danish Superliga, Scottish Premiership, German Bundesliga and Turkish Süper Lig.
This tally includes players from both the first team, and U21s 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)
Peacock-Farrell's loan side Aarhus faced a tricky fixture against 11-time Danish champions Brøndby IF, and ultimately lost out 3-0 at home.
The Northern Irish ‘keeper played 23 minutes before being sent-off in the game against the second placed Danish Superliga side.
That result means Aarhus sit fifth in the table and welcome Randers to Aarhus Stadium next Sunday, a game that Peacock-Farrell will now miss through suspension.
This week’s game(s): SUN – Randers (H)
Benn Ward (Swindon Town)
Ward was an unused substitute in the Robins 2-0 victory over Walsall on Saturday, with ex-Claret Charlie Austin, and Rushian Hepburn-Murphy netting the goals for Michael Flynn’s side.
Swindon sit third in the Sky Bet League Two table following that win and are three points off leaders Gillingham with a game in hand.
Next up for Ward and the Robins is a trip to fellow Claret Michael Mellon’s Morecambe next Saturday.
This week’s game(s): SAT – Morecambe (A)
Dara Costelloe (St Johnstone)
Costelloe played 90 minutes in this week’s tough game at home to Rangers for St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership.
