WREXHAM MIDFIELDER SET TO JOIN ON-LOAN
Colwyn Bay are set to complete the signing of Wrexham’s talented 18 year-old, former Wales Under-17 International, Matty Hurdman, on a months loan.
It is hoped that the paperwork will be processed in time in order to allow Hurdman to be eligible for tonight’s home game against Prescot Cables (7.45pm). Injuries to key midfielders Jimmy Kelly & Carl Clampitt in addition to Steve Aspinall being unavailable (away on honeymoon) have left manager Neil Young short of cover in midfield.
Hurdman spent a period on loan to Prestatyn last season before being recalled by Wrexham in March after scoring twice in nine appearances for the Seasiders.

More details will be announced shortly.
