McHugh loaned to Loons

Last updated : 18 August 2011 By Stuart Gillespie

McHugh, who is held in high regard by the coaching staff at Greenhill Road, has yet to make his debut for the Saints first team although has been on the bench a few times. With Graeme Smith now fit and Craig Samson in decent form, the chances of him getting a game were slim.

As a result, sending him on loan is a good move. Young midfielder Jamie McKernon was recently loaned to Ayr and scored for them in one of the cups, so it's a move that can have benefits for both the player and the two cubs.
