Laws fails in loan bid

Last updated : 08 January 2004 By Luke Thornhill
Laws watched a reserve game earlier this week but a move has fallen through because the player was needed by his club this weekend.

He insists that the deal can be resurrected next week, but for the time being he has refused to give any clues to the player concerned.

The official site however has suggested that it is not a defensive player, which would suggest it is a midfielder Laws is looking to bring in.

Iron captain Mark Jackson will go under the surgeon's knife today in an attempt to cure a troublesome ankle injury, which will rule him out of action for up to eight weeks.
