Left-back Myles Kenlock admits he was keen to go out on loan earlier in the season when he wasn’t involved in the Town first team.
However, the 22-year-old, who made only one sub appearance under Paul Hurst, has been involved in the senior side more regularly under Paul Lambert and has started all but one of the last seven matches.
"It was disappointing for me at the start because all I wanted to do is be out there on the pitch and playing games,” Kenlock told the club site.
"That wasn’t happening so I would have liked the opportunity to go out on loan but it’s worked out for the best.
"I’ve had setbacks my whole life so I know with faith and hard work you will overcome what is put in front of you.
"As the season has gone on I’ve got back to full fitness and have got some game time and now it’s about doing all I can for the team to get as many points as possible.”
Academy product Kenlock, who is out of contract in the summer but with the club having an option to keep him for a further season, has now made 46 starts and four sub appearances, so far without scoring a senior goal.
