Trio exit on loan deals

Three loan deals have been completed this week as Sven Goran Eriksson looks to free-up positions in his squad for potential new signings of his own.

First to complete a move was Jack Hobbs, whose anticipated switch to rejoin Nigel Pearson at Hull City was completed in midweek. Hobbs has signed for the Tigers until the end of the season but he has been tipped to be on his way to the KC Stadium on a permanent deal in the summer.

Robbie Neilson has also seen the exit door of the Walkers Stadium for the time being, the Scot joining Brentford  until mid-March. The thirty-year-old has made eleven appearances for the Foxes and scored this season but has seen his first team opportunities limited since the arrival of Kyle Naughton to the East Midlands.

The third man to leave Leicester this week is long-serving player Conrad Logan, the Irishman joining Bristol Rovers on a month-long loan deal. Logan has been with the Foxes since 2004 and has appeared for five other clubs during loan spells in that time.
