Almost five months after joining Stockport, Daniel Okwute goes on loan to seventh-tier side Warrington Rylands - even aged 19, one gets the impression he needs to hit the ground running to then earn a chance at a higher level.
Ooh, that's an interesting one - right after his eighteenth birthday, also, so it looks like they were just waiting for the chance to bring him over. Hopefully they can develop him like they did with Ferguson, Molumby and, yes, ConnollyOriginally Posted by tetsujin1979

I suppose the ones we really want to keep an eye on over the summer are -
Kelleher (seems to finally want a move into regular first-team ball)
Parrott and Cannon (both on loan this season)
Knight and Connell (both in the third tier - Connell may yet be promoted out of it)
Ogbene (can he do better than Rotherham? It's not clear)
Doherty (16 minutes since moving in Jan, both in games that were long over, is a waste of time)
There's others may be linked with a move of course, but I think the above guys would be the ones who we really need to move?
