Cambridge United Head Coach Mark Bonner has been speaking to the club’s official website about the season long loan deal that will see U’s midfielder Lewis Simper head to Huish Park.
Bonner has highlighting the success and progression of another former Cambridge player, Tom Knowles since his move a year ago.
He said;“We have seen how good Darren Sarll and Yeovil Town have been for Tom Knowles and hope that Lewis will rise to the challenge of competing for a regular starting place in the team, coping with the physical demands that brings and adjusting to a new environment.”
Simper, who has spent time on loan at Concord Rangers, has recently signed a new deal at the Abbey Stadium and this move is the next step in his career according to his parent club’s head coach.
“This loan gives Lewis an excellent opportunity to build on his strong conclusion to last season, stepping up a level to the National League. (It) makes it the perfect time for him to experience a first team environment with a more realistic chance of senior match minutes.”
Speaking on social media, Simper himself said he was “Buzzing” to sign for Yeovil.
Welcome to Huish Park, Lewis!
