Hatters boss expects youngsters to leave on loan

Jake Woolley goes close against Stevenage in Tuesday's development game

Hatters boss John Still is expecting to send out some of his younger players when the loan window opens next week, writes Mike Simmonds.

The likes of Brett Longden, Jerome Jibodu and Jake Woolley will all be given the opportunity to get some valuable first team football, while JJ O’Donnell may well have the chance too after slipping down the pecking order at Kenilworth Road this season.

Still said: “We are actively talking and I’m sure there’ll be one or two lads like (Brett) Longden, (Jerome) Jibodu and (Jake) Woolley, going out on loan.

“It’s been important for them to be around what we’re doing. It would have be easy to say, go on away you go, and they don’t feel part of it.”
