We take a look at how some of our young players got on in our weekly loan watch.
Matty Jacob at Gateshead FC:
After coming on as a late substitute a week ago against Kidderminster Harriers, Matty Jacob was rewarded for his efforts by being named in Mike Williamson’s starting line-up for the visit of Bradford Park Avenue in the FA Cup. The 20-year-old defender didn’t let his manager down as he netted twice in the second half as the Heed won 6-2 at the International Stadium.
Harvey Cartwright at Gainsborough Trinity:
Just hours after joining Gainsborough Trinity on a one-month loan, Harvey Cartwright was straight into the starting line-up as the Holy Blues came up against Stalybridge Celtic in the Northern Premier League. The 19-year-old impressed as he kept a clean sheet on his debut and will now be looking to retain his place in the side.
Jake Leake at Boston United:
Eighteen-year-old defender Jake Leake got another 90 minutes under his belt as Boston United beat Corby Town 6-0 in the FA Cup at the Jakemans Community Street.
Festus Arthur at Barrow:
Another player who got 90 minutes under his belt over the weekend was Festus Arthur at Barrow. He helped the Bluebirds pick up a point on the road at Bradford City.
Harry Wood at Scunthorpe United:
Nineteen-year-old midfielder Harry Wood was named in the starting line-up for Scunthorpe United’s 2-2 draw away at Carlisle United. He was replaced by Tom Pugh after 68 minutes.
