Confirmed Transfer Sam Hughes loaned to Salford

[Jeff]

Leicester City Development Squad defender Sam Hughes has joined League Two side Salford City on a season-long loan deal.

The 22-year-old joined the Foxes on a three-year contract in the summer of 2017 from Chester, where he was named the Club’s player of the season.

He made his Leicester debut in a Checkatrade Trophy game against Fleetwood Town in August of the same year and impressed for the Club’s Under-23s.

Hughes has been involved in all four of City’s Premier League 2 fixtures this season and started for the Foxes in their win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday.

Promoted to the EFL for the first time in their history last season, Graham Alexander’s Salford side currently sit in 16th place in the fourth tier.

Good stuff, he’s meant to be the best of the group we have just below the first team

Shame he has to go to those lot really. Can’t stand them.

Then why the hell is the best loan deal he can get at L2 level?

At 22 he should be at the Championship if he is anywhere near good enough for us.

He's spent most of the last year injured. So other teams haven't had a chance to see him play at the best of his ability. He played well for the under 23s the other night.

Preferred Sam McMahon.

Injuries oh and we signed a right back this summer that’s never played above league one, for a cb 22 is still very young so he still has time

I played against him loads as a junior and with him in some rep games too. He was quality and it was a real shame that injuries stopped him getting further than he did.

Which is fine, but if this lad was decent we wouldn't have signed 2 younger players for millions ahead of him

Something about our academy setup just doesn't add up.

Of course we would if a better player is available you sign them
