Loan round-up: Barry makes EFL debut

Louie Barry made his Football League debut for Ipswich Town on Saturday.

The forward started as the Tractor Boys took on Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium in League One, watching from the bench as his side conceded late in a 2-1 defeat after he’d been substituted on 66 minutes.

A place in the starting XI followed Barry’s Ipswich debut in the Carabao Cup in midweek when he faced fellow Villa loanee Finn Azaz and Newport County, with the latter’s side triumphing 1-0.

Midfielder Azaz played the full 90 minutes for County on Saturday as they returned to League Two action with a 2-1 defeat away to Mansfield Town.

Also in League Two, Kaine Kesler Hayden’s Swindon Town lost 2-1 at home to Carlisle United, with the defender shown a red card in stoppage time.

It was a second bookable offence for the youngster, who was making his second league start.

Seb Revan can look forward to the beginning of the National League season this weekend after starting once again for Grimsby Town as they ended pre-season with a 2-1 loss to Chesterfield.

Goalkeeper Akos Onodi endured a tough debut for Bromsgrove Sporting on the first day of the Southern League Premier Central season, conceding four as Leiston ran-out 4-0 winners.

In the MLS, Indiana Vassilev and Inter Miami suffered a 2-0 defeat to New York City on Saturday.

The striker was subbed on after 64 minutes, but the damage had already been done with two first half goals as Miami slipped to 12^th in the Eastern Conference standings.

Villa’s only other loanee, Lovre Kalinic, did not feature for Hadjuk Split.
