New chief Carlos will run rule over loan stars
TOWN had 10 players out on loan when the season was put on hold in March, and none of those players were permitted to return to action for the final few games of the season.
Head of football operations Leigh Bromby has indicated that Carlos Corberan will assess all of his squad – even those who were out on loan for various reasons – and will assess which of them he wants to work with as he rebuilds he squad.

Hand-in-hand with a 2020-21 drive to move Town up the Championship table is a philosophy to guarantee sustained success in future years.
While the club’s academy set-up has an influential role to play for Corberan, the head coach has the final say on who Town bring in and there’s a clarity on that front which the club believe will reap dividends and cut down on potential errors.
Twelve players were released in the club’s retained list, including the likes of long-serving Elias Kachunga and popular attacker Collin Quaner, while Town triggered one-year contract extensions for goalkeeper Ryan Schofield and right-back Demeaco Duhaney.
