Harrison Jones is open to a local loan move this month. According to the Sunderland Echo, Harrison Jones could be loaned out in the January transfer window, and the 19-year-old is open to the notion. Jones is believed to have agreed that a temporary move to local clubs such as Hartlepool United or Gateshead would be a good opportunity for him at this time in his career, although clubs further away would still be acceptable if they presented the correct challenge. Jones and his management are eager to get a loan move this month because the teenager is at a vital period of his development; he is the Under-21sThe skipper has been on the first-team bench several times but has yet to make his Championship debut. Jones could sign a loan contract this month, but National League clubs are allowed to make loan deals outside of the typical window, so there may still be time in February for a trade. However, according to Rob Law, Hartlepool do not regard Jones as a “target” right now, as their transfer “priorities” are to sign a wide player this month.
