Crewe defender available for loan

Patrick Ada is again available for loan after the Crewe defender stressed his desire for regular first-team football.

Alex boss Dario Gradi opened the door for the centre-back in January in a bid to get some games having struggled to hold down a starting place since his arrival from non-league Histon.

A move failed to materialise although Ada did reject a loan switch to Rushden shortly after the closure of the window. However, he has now stressed his desire to get some game time under his belt and his details have been sent to potentially interested clubs.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed Ashley Westwood will serve a three-match ban for his dismissal against Notts County at the weekend, meaning he will miss the games against Port Vale, Morecambe and Cheltenham.
