Why do Chester use the loan market so much?
The Blues have added Michael Kelly and are looking at other additional signings
When Michael Kelly arrived at Chester last week on loan from Boston United for the rest of the season he became loan number eight for the Blues this season.
As a club with a budget that is often dwarfed by some of their rivals, and with the added requirement of having to be more prudent given the ownership model and the need to be in the black each year, the loan market has been somewhere the club has often looked when it needs to bring players in during the course of a season.
It can, of course, be hit and miss, and those players available for loan tend to fall under the brackets of being young and needing exposure to senior men’s football, needing to work themselves back to fitness for a short period after an injury, or they haven’t featured regularly and no longer form part of the plans of management at their parent club.
