Rovers circulated the names of players available for loan moves earlier this week and Tony Mowbray revealed there has been no shortage of interest.

The window for Championship sides may have closed, but teams in Leagues One and Two have until September 2 to add to their squads.

Rovers made six summer signings and have so far allowed youngsters Scott Wharton and Tyler Magloire to leave on loan to gain experience, joining Northampton and Rochdale respectively.

More could follow, though Rovers will be keen not to leave themselves too short of options with no incomings allowed until January.

The Under-23s fielded an inexperienced side in their opening game against Arsenal, though midfielders Brad Lyons and Stefan Mols, a goalscorer in the 3-1 defeat, are thought to be attracting interest.

So too are the likes of Joe Grayson, who finished the season with Mansfield, and Sam Hart who has had three separate loan spells away in recent seasons.

“The phone has rang a few times,” Mowbray said.

“There are decisions to be made on things like that.

“There’s a balance between allowing young players to go out and play and advance their career and get the experience, against being a charity.

“I feel as if I have a responsibility to make business decisions as well as human decisions on the footballers and that’s where the balance is.

“Let’s see how the conversations go.”

In the same way that Rovers look for support in supplementing wages of players coming in from Premier League clubs, teams in the lower echelons are hoping for similar favours to stay within their budgets.

But Mowbray says there has to be some level of commitment from the interested party to demonstrate a willingness to give game-time to any Rovers youngster leaving on loan, rather than simply filling a place in the squad.

Mowbray has already stated that John Buckley, Dan Butterworth and Joe Rankin-Costello are unlikely to leave on loan, due to being on the fringes of the first-team.

However, the boss did say after the midweek cup win over Oldham Athletic hat central defensive pair Matty Platt and Grayson could benefit from short-term moves away.

“I think there will be some outgoings before the window shuts for League One and League Two clubs,” the boss added.

“I’m sitting here not in a rush, but I think the players and some of their advisors are in a rush.

“Some get a stage where they don’t want to be playing Under-23s football week in, week out, they feel as though they’ve done that for two or three years and want to now test themselves in the league if they can.

“We’re generally happy to do that but there has to be a balance to that and making sure that the player who goes out isn’t going out for nothing and we’re paying their full salary.

“If teams want one of your players then I think they have to show some intent they are going to play them so they have to pay some salary level.”
