Holden goes back to Rhyl
According to the Rhyl website Luke Holden has returned to them after Charlton decided against turning his 3-month loan period into a permanent move. A fee in the region of £10,000 had been agreed if the trial was successful. I never saw Holden play but in the 30 solitary minutes he got at Southampton in the JPT he got some decent reviews.
One could blame the lack of proper reserve games for both Charlton and Holden not maximising this opportunity but in three months Parky must have had a good look at him and clearly thought he wasn't going to make it, which would explain his continued absence from matchday squads.
The Welsh Premier League has seen Norwich's Owain Tudur Jones recently(ish) make the break into the English leagues but the gap in standard is huge. One wishes Holden the best of luck in the future and I hope the 21-year get's another chance. ¶ 22:01
