CAREY today revealed he has made a number of loan enquires to Premiership clubs.
The Reds' boss is determined to shake things up following the 3-2 defeat against
Macclesfield and is hoping to capture at least one new arrival before Saturday's
home match against Barnet.
Carey used the same ploy to great affect at the back end of last season when he
brought in Anthony Williams and Michael Proctor on loan to help steer Wrexham
clear of relegation.
"I have been speaking to a few Premiership clubs with a view to taking players
on loan and now I am just waiting for them to come back to me," confirmed Carey.
"I am hopeful of getting at least one player in before Saturday's match against
Barnet, but for now I am just playing a bit of a waiting game.
"We have been busy watching games all the time. We have taken second and third
looks at the development of players who have impressed in the past, as well as
using our scouting network to find new players who we feel can make us a better
side.
"I am after players who are good enough – it doesn't matter if they are
youngsters or more experienced players who are out of favour – if they will
improve us and we can bring them here, then we will.
"As long as we stay within our budget then there is no problem with us adding to
our squad. If we do have to send a few players in the other direction then we
will."
Meanwhile, a strong Wrexham Reserves played in a behind closed doors friendly at
Colliers Park training ground yesterday, with Eifion Williams, Josh Johnson,
Simon Spender, Matt Crowell, Mike Williams and Levi Mackin all in action.
"Macclesfield don't have a reserve team so they are always willing to send a
side down here and play against us. Everybody needs to stay on top of their
fitness so games like this are essential for the players not involved over the
weekend," added Carey.
