Everton Loan Round Up Nov 23rd 2015
Two young Blues made immediate impacts for their loan clubs at the weekend.
David Henen has joined Fleetwood Town on a one-month deal and grabbed his first professional goal in English football in their 5-1 hammering of Swindon. The Belgian winger also had a hand in the Cod Army’s opener, with his cross being inadvertently diverted into the net by an unfortunate defender.
Watch highlights of the game, including Henen’s goal below.
Meanwhile, Ryan Ledson picked up the Man of the Match award in his first game for Cambridge United.
The England Under-19s midfielder recently joined the U’s on a spell until the New Year - and was impressive despite the 3-2 defeat to Accrington Stanley.
Manager Shaun Derry had earlier expressed his delight at securing a loan deal for the boyhood Blue.
“I feel we have acquired the services of one of the brightest young talents in English football,” he said.
“Ryan is clearly willing to take his career to the next level by joining Cambridge United, where he will have the opportunity to play his first League matches.
“I would like to place on record my huge gratitude to Everton Football Club for making this loan deal possible.”
Match highlights from Ledson's Cambridge debut can be seen below.
Up in the Championship, Luke Garbutt got a full outing as Fulham picked up a 1-1 draw at MK Dons. The Whites are currently in the process of finding a new manager following Kit Symons’ departure.

Elsewhere, Conor Grant and Felipe Mattioni played 90 and 87 minutes respectively as Doncaster Rovers succumbed to a 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Rochdale.
Russell Griffiths started for Halifax Town at Gateshead but the young goalkeeper was sent off shortly before the interval. The Shaymen went on to win 4-1 with 10 men.
Over at Chester, Calum Dyson came on as a 37th-minute substitute but couldn’t prevent a 2-1 defeat to Woking.
And finally, with goalkeeper Louis Gray injured and defender James Graham having been involved with Wales Under-19s, Colwyn Bay suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Rushall Olympic.
