Alex defender set to go out on loan

Since joining Crewe in the summer, the former Histon centre-back has found life in League Two tough going and he is currently below Danny O'Donnell, Mat Mitchel-King and Harry Worley in the Gresty Road pecking order.Following Alex's 4-1 defeat to Macclesfield, Gradi told the club's official website: "Patrick is not in my plans at the moment and we will make him available for loan so he can play some games."I am not looking to off-load him because he has many good attributes."He has come up from non-league and needs a bit of work. He knows that he is fourth choice at the moment."
