Gavin Cowan looking forward to seeing AFC Telford loan duo in action
Boss Gavin Cowan is excited to see how young duo Ryan Sears and Max Bramley fare at AFC Telford United.
Nineteen-year-old defender Sears and 21-year-old goalkeeper Bramley have been snapped up on loan by the Bucks, from Shrewsbury Town and Leicester City respectively.
Sears is capable of playing as a full-back or centre-half and shone at Welsh Premier side Newtown last season.
Bramley has not played for the Foxes’ first team yet but has been a regular for the Premier League club’s Under-23s.
“Max is a very well-rounded young man. He’s someone who I’ve known about for quite some time,” said Cowan.
“I’ve seen a lot of his under-23s games for Leicester.
“He’s probably ready for this level, in terms of physicality and the barrage that will come his way, should he start. He’s a great addition. They think really highly of him at Leicester.
“Ryan, a lot of hard work has gone into getting him on board.
“He did incredibly well over at Newtown last season. I think he was the Welsh Premier’s young player of the year.
“I’ve got connections there and they spoke really highly of him.
“I think he played at centre-half at Newtown but I don’t think he’ll play there at this level if I’m totally honest, I think he’s more of a right-back.
“We’re really excited to have both of them on board.”
