Davey Doesnt Waste Time

Last updated : 20 March 2007 By Rob Miles (barnsley Boy)

Well Davey said there could be comings and goings before Thursday's Loan deadline and today 2 players have left the club on short term deals

First utility player Dale Tonge has joined League One Gillingham on loan for a month.

Tonge who played an integral part in the Reds promotion success last season has been frozen out under Simon Davey and recently had trials at Yeovil and Walsall.

He will now spend the month with Ronnie Jepson's side who sit 18th in League One.

Jepson told Gillingham's Official Website:

"He's a good addition to the squad, he played in the promotion winning Barnsley team last year on a regular basis and I've seen him play on a number of occasions, he will help strengthen our team, and I think the supporters will like what they see"

Tonge has made 55 appearances for The Reds first team but hasn't featured since the 3-0 hammering by Sheffield Wednesday on the 30th December.

Meanwhile young defender Ryan Laight has gone to Alfreton Town also for a month.

Laight who spent time on loan at Tamworth earlier in the season has made 1 appearance for the Reds first team, coming on as a sub in the 2-0 victory over Bristol City on the 4th February 2006
