Duo Extend Chelmsford Loan Spells
Wednesday, 28th Feb 2024 13:30

Blues youngsters Henry Gray and Finley Barbrook have extended their loans at Chelmsford City until the end of the season.

Midfielder Barbrook joined the Clarets in late October, has scored twice and has latterly played at central defence, while keeper Gray, who trained with the full New Zealand squad in the autumn, signed in early December and has kept eight clean sheets for the National League South side, who currently have the best defensive record in the division.

“Fin and Henry have both now renewed their loans until the end of the season,” manager Robbie Simpson said after Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Farnborough.

“That is great for us, I thought Fin had another outstanding game at the back next to [skipper] Dave [Winfield].”

Elsewhere, midfielder Panutche Camara made his first start since October for Charlton as the Addicks won 2-1 at Derby last night with Freddie Ladapo also in the side.

Camara, 27 today, returned to action as a sub earlier this month following a hamstring injury. The Guinea-Bissau international’s Town contract is up in the summer but with the club having an option for a further season.

Bert added 18:32 - Feb 28 Has always amazed me that Chelmsford have never progressed to the EFL. In the 70’s they regularly had crowds of 4,000 . I remember the FA Cup game at New Writtle Street. It was not straight forward !

ntoms97 added 18:41 - Feb 28 Saw Finlay play for Chelmsford against Weymouth. Controlled the midfield and deserved his goal. Top corner from just outside the box. Terrible conditions as well!

City were the first club I supported and of course i too was there for Cup game againsr Town.

They did have bigger crowds in th epast but various financial factors brought the Club down over the years. But they had some great players and should have done better. Tony Nicholas for one!
So pleased to see them doing better now and maybe get promotion which hsa alluded them for so long.

Writtleblue added 10:28 - Feb 29 I went to the cup match at Chelmsford in the 70s there were 15000 there. PR is THE place to be in English football, I have to battle through the A12 roadworks to get there but it's always worth every second.
