Jol keen for more youngsters to go on loan
Fulham manager Martin Jol says he is keen for more of his youngsters to join lower-division clubs on loan.
The Whites boss has let Dan Burn join Birmingham City, Marcello Trotta join Brentford and Ryan Williams and Cauley Woodrow move to League Two sides Oxford and Southend respectively.
And he wants more of the club’s young players to gain important first-team experience.
“My philosophy is it’s always necessary for them to get games under their belts and to go on loan,” Jol said.
“We’ve got a lot of players in our Under-21s who could do well for lower-league clubs – the only thing is I have to find the right clubs for them.
“Hopefully other managers in these leagues will know them and see them.”
Jol has also let Israeli midfielder Omri Altman return to his native country on loan with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The Dutchman added: “They all want experience, so sometimes we have to go abroad.”
