Henry moves out on loan
Promising Tranmere Rovers midfield Paul Henry has joined local Welsh Premier Division side The New Saints on loan until the end of the season.

Henry has so far made two appearances for Tranmere's first team, firstly coming on as a substitute to make his debut away at Doncaster Rovers in November before starting for the first time away at Luton just before Christmas.

The midfielder, who is the nephew of former Tranmere Rovers legend Nicky Henry, has captained Rovers reserve team and put in a number of impressive performances for the second string this season.

However, he is behind fellow central-midfielders John Mullin and Adnan Ahmed in the pecking order at Rovers and a move to T.N.S. where he will gain vital first team experience can only be an assistance to his future career.

Henry follows the lead of Michael Johnston, currently at Bangor City on loan and the likes of Steven Jennings, whose move to Hereford on loan last season has been a huge help in him getting first team football this season at Prenton Park.
