Andy Sinton plays down Redditch link talks

AFC Telford United boss Andy Sinton has played down talk of a potential formal link-up with Redditch United.

The Bucks boss admitted holding talks with Redditch joint manager Graham Hyde – a former team-mate from Sheffield Wednesday.

He said: “I don’t think we would be looking to send too many of our first team squad to Redditch because of the level they play at (the Evo-Stik Southern League premier division).

But if we get any trialists coming in that we deem not good enough for us, we will look to pass them on to Redditch.

“We took a centre-half on loan last week and we sent him there, hopefully he will get a few games and we’ll be able to keep an eye on him.

“I know Graham Hyde well and he’s a good lad,” Sinton added. “If we can help each other then we will.”

Meanwhile Sinton is stepping up his efforts to loan out some of his large AFC Telford United squad – having had no enquiries so far.

Sinton sent out a general circular to clubs last week alerting managers to the fact that he would be willing to let a number of his players get games elsewhere.

But having been disappointed with the response, he is now planning a second bulletin – this time detailing exactly who is available.
