The last week has seen plenty of action for the young Norwich City players out on loan, with Tony Springett making the headlines for collecting his first senior goal in a late equaliser for Northampton Town.

After joining the League One side on loan during the January transfer window, Springett has made six appearances for the Cobblers.

In last night's 2-2 draw against high-flying Oxford United, the young Irish winger took all of seven minutes to make his mark off the bench, being substituted on in the 85th minute and finding the back of the net in the 92nd.

Another young Canary enjoying his first taste of senior level action is Emmanuel Adegboyega, who joined City in the summer of 2023.

His move over to League Two Walsall last month on loan has started well for the Irish defender, with two goals in two league appearances.

Adegboyega, 20, netted Walsall's third in a 3-0 win over Morecambe on Tuesday evening.

Top-of-the-table Portsmouth have been enjoying Abu Kamara's presence since the start of the 2023/24 season; Abu has scored six goals and registered eight assists for the Blues.

Pompey's most recent fixture saw the 20-year-old loanee claim three assists in a 4-1 win over Reading at Fratton Park.

Academy goalkeeper Archie Mair has consistently made Morcambe's starting 11 after making the loan move in January earlier this year. The Shrimps are currently 11th in the League Two table.

Jonathan Tomkinson has retained his place in Bradford City's squad, making 17 appearances and helping his side keep 10 clean sheets during his time on the pitch in Yorkshire.

Following a short-term loan at the start of the season, Dylan Berry's return to Macclesfield Town will see him in goal for the Silkmen for the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign.

Jaden Warner made his debut for Notts County at the start of February and has started as centre-back and right-back for the Magpies in all four of their matches since making the move.

Over in Germany, Christos Tzolis has settled in well with Fortuna Düsseldorf, who occupy seventh in 2. Bundesliga.

The Greek Under-21 international has scored 13 goals in all competitions with four assists to his name.
