[LNB]Newcastle youngster Nile Ranger is set to spend next season out on loan in order to gain more experience.[LNB] Despite featuring heavily in the first half of the season, Ranger played just twice after the January arrival of Leon Best. [LNB]Following Newcastle's promotion to the Barclays Premier League and Chris Hughton's vow to strengthen in the summer, Ranger, who is already behind Best, Shola Ameobi, Andy Carroll and Peter Lovenkrand in the pecking order, is being encouraged to seek a loan deal away from St James' Park. [LNB][LNB] On the move: Nile Ranger is likely to be sent out on loan next season [LNB]'Obviously, Nile has total respect for Chris Hughton and it isentirely up to him what he decides to do but the indication that wehave been given is that he will be going out on loan next season,' the19-year-old's agent Nick Rubery told The Journal. [LNB]'It is totally up to him. But I think the thinking is that he needsfirst-team football to progress and that he might not get that in thePremier League which I think is understandable.[LNB] 'I think it would probably benefit him if he went out on loan toexperience first-team football. It has been shown to work in the pastwith other players and it's a route open to Nile.'
