Football League News - 05 March 2010

Let’s take a quick look at the player movements in England’s lower leagues. Burnley defender Richard Eckersley has joined Plymouth on loan for a month’s duration. He is expected to go straight into the first team for Plymouth’s game against Preston on Friday. Meanwhile, Norwich are close to signing Preston striker Stephen Elliott till the end of the season. The Republic of Ireland international has had his opportunities limited at Deepdale after the arrival of Danny Welbeck on loan from Manchester United.

Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has stated that teenage prodigy Martyn Waghorn is not for sale. The 17 year old who is on loan at Leicester has earned rave reviews for his displays in the Championship but Bruce insists that there is no chance of the player leaving the Stadium of Light. Oldham have moved quickly to land Blackpool’s Daniel Nardiello in a move which will hopefully reduce their goal scoring worries. Newcastle winger Kazenga Lua Lua has expressed his desire to extend his loan spell at Brighton and Hove Albion. His initial loan deal was to expire after Brighton’s next game against Colchester but Seagulls boss Gus Poyet is interested to extend his loan spell.

And finally, after being out for four months with a foot injury, Joey Barton has resumed training with Newcastle United. He is expected play for the reserves in the next week and according to Chris Hughton, Barton might play a major part in Newcastle’s last 13 games in the Championship.
