Irvine eager for more West Brom youngsters to leave on-loan

West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine is eager for more of their young players to move away on-loan.

Albion currently have Donervon Daniels out on loan with Blackpool, but there are several other candidates who could benefit from exposure to senior competition.

"In the case of some of the young lads they may well go out on loan but we will see," Irvine told the Birmingham Mail. "Other clubs have to come asking first and it has got to be the right thing for them to do as well. There are some lads who are ready for league football.

"Kemar Roofe needs to be playing beyond Under-21 level, so does Adil Nabi, so does Bradley Garmston.

"We can't make that happen, it takes another club to phone us and say 'Can we have such and such a player on loan?' and then we will assess the situation.

"In Donervon Daniels' case a Championship club phoned up wanting him on loan. Is he going to play? Yes, great. 'You can have him on loan, how long do you want him for?'

"That's been done through to January which is great, if it had been a League Two club we would probably have said 'you can have him for a month and then we'll review it at that stage'."
