AFC Telford United defender Ashley Woolliscroft has completed a loan move to Stafford Rangers.

Bucks boss Andy Sinton has allowed the versatile 30-year-old, who re-joined Telford in the summer, to join their near neighbours on an initial one month deal.

And Sinton hinted that more players could follow Woolliscroft through the exit door of the New Bucks Head as the Telford chief looks to utilise the loan market to help him juggle a large squad.

"Ashley's gone up to Stafford for a month," said Sinton. "He just needs to get some games under his belt, as do a few more players but we can't get them all out at once.

"He hasn't played much for us this season partly because of injuries but also because Will Salmon's form has been so good and we've also got Martyn Naylor coming back from injury as well so it's a good chance for him to get some games.

"Ashley didn't have much of a pre-season either so it will be good for him. He's done well in the couple of games he has played in and he is fully fit now. He'll come back after a month and we'll take it from there."

Woolliscroft joins fellow Buck Tyree Clarke at Stafford, the former Norwich youngster having moved on loan earlier this season.

Meanwhile Sinton added that aside from the unavailable Carl Rodgers, he has a full squad to choose from ahead of tomorrow's trip to Corby Town.

New signing Stefan Bailey goes straight into the squad and winger Greg Mills returns after missing the win over Solihull Moors last week through suspension.

And Sinton said Bailey's arrival handed him a selection dilemma.

"Stefan Bailey comes into contention and I've also got Richard Davies," said Sinton. "One of them will play but I haven't made up my mind which yet."
