MIDFIELD DUO HEAD WEST ON LOAN

Montrose FC players Ryan Ferguson and Danny Cavanagh have both joined local Junior side Forfar West End on a short term one month loan deal aimed at giving the midfielders some much needed game time.

Ferguson, now in his third season with the club following his move from Brechin City has struggled on and off with injury this term, making only 5 appearances from the bench but is now back to full fitness and keen to break back into the first team.

Cavanagh, who re-joined the Gable Endies in the summer from Broughty Athletic started the season on the treatment table and, like Ryan has just returned to full fitness.

Manager Stewart Petrie has made good use of short term loan deals this season, speeding up the return to the first team of both Gary Fraser after a spell at Arbroath and Michael Bolochoweckyj after 2 months at East Stirlingshire.

Petrie said, “It has been a frustrating season for Danny and Ryan and I hope this opportunity works out for them both. I have a lot of faith in the boys as Ryan was the first player whose contract I extended and Danny was one of the first new faces I brought to the Club, so I am as keen as they are to see them be successful here.

“Getting game time will improve their sharpness and we look forward to welcoming them back in a few weeks.”
