Hackett-Fairchild is looking to enjoy his football again after ‘tough’ Blues spell
POMPEY’s Reeco HackettFairchild is looking forward to enjoying his football again after completing a loan move to former club Bromley.
The 23-year-old said he was ‘buzzing’ to be back at Hayes Lanes for a third time, after enduring a difficult couple of months at Fratton Park.
On Monday night forward Hackett-Fairchild sealed a temporary return to the National League outfit until January 3, with the Blues holding a recall option after an initial 28-day period.
It sees him head back to the side who sold him to Pompey back in January foran undisclosed fee.
With just one senior Blues appearance to his name since then, it’s understandable why the move suits both the club and the player.
And as Hackett-Fairchild anticipated sticking on a Bromley shirt once more, he admitted he couldn’t wait to kick-start his playing career.
In a Twitter post, the former Charlton youngster said: ‘Can’t wait to get going and enjoying my football again. Lets go!’
He then followed that comment up by telling Bromley’s website that this is where he wanted to be after a ‘tough’ time at
Fratton Park.
‘It’s been tough the last nine months with no football but I can’t wait to get back, get started again and win some games and score some goals,’ HackettFairchild added.
‘It is somewhere I admire. It is somewhere I have come and enjoyed each spell I’ve spent at the Club, I can’t fault it.
‘It was the first place I wanted to come to at this level, I’m buzzing to be back.’
Before moving to Pompey, Hackett-Fairchild scored eight goals in 25 appearances for Bromley during the 2019-20 season.
Yet he struggled to establish himself at the
Blues, with his solitary appearance coming at Walsall in the EFL Trophy a day after he arrived.
And last week Kenny Jackett told The News that Hackett-Fairchild was frustrated with his lack of opportunities and was keen to exit Pompey on a temporary basis.
He said: ‘It’s tough for Reeco and he would 100 per cent want to go out on loan, yes. He had a good pre-season and has in recent weeks got over his injury and looks sharp in training.
‘But would he want to go on loan? Yes, he would.’
