The Pompey Chimes Forum

Olyuwemi has gone to Chelmsford until January and Hewitt-White has gone on loan for the season at Havant & Waterlooville.

Not sure if both are eligible to play in the EFL Trophy?

I think it is interesting that Hewitt-White has gone to H&W on loan for the season. I can this this loan will benefit him because he can train with Pompey first team regularly and still get out and play regularly for H&W. He is only 19yo and hopefully he can get some playing time in the EFL Trophy for Pompey this season too.

The rules suggest that they are allowed to play in the EFL Trophy while out on loan.

Having watched Jewitt-White a couple of times during his loan spell at Gosport last season (a level below H&W) he looked absolutely miles off being ready for League One. In my opinion he'll need to develop very well during this season at H&W to give himself a chance of a new contract with us. Hope I'm wrong, obviously.
