Avenue manager Mark Bower (second right) and his assistant Danny Boshell (left) think highly of Lloyd Smith, but want him to get some games under his belt at a lower level. Picture: John Rhodes.
BRADFORD (Park Avenue) brought in a clutch of forwards over the summer, but one of them has already left Horsfall, albeit temporarily.
Youngster Lloyd Smith, who came in from Barnsley, has found himself on the bench regularly this season for Mark Bower's side, but has struggled in his attempts to earn a place in the starting line-up.
Given Smith's lack of game-time, Avenue have decided to send the teenager on loan to Frickley Athletic in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division.
Frickley are struggling down in 15th currently, but could move up a place if they beat Bradford side Eccleshill United at home tonight.
