McParland makes loan hint

Notts County manager Ian McParland has hinted that he will send the younger members of his squad out on loan so that they can gain some first-team experience.
Teenagers like Stef Frost, Rob Austin and Matt Austin are on the fringes of the first team but, as the Magpies do not play in a reserve league, it is difficult for them to make the step up to League Two football.
McParland understands the predicament, telling the Nottingham Evening Post: "If I get the chance to put some of the young lads out on loan, I will. We've got enough now to let a couple of them out on loan.
"I've circulated their names to clubs but nothing's happened so far.
"I feel sorry for them because they're smashing, lovely young lads. They just want to play competitive football."
