We can confirm that Ted Cann's loan deal has been extended until the end of the season.

The West Bromwich Albion shot stopper joined on loan after Callum Hawkins' ACL injury ruled him out for the rest of the season and has made seven starts since making his debut against Bradford (Park Avenue).

Paul Holleran has confirmed that Connor Taylor has joined Barwell on a one month loan deal in order to gain match time.

We'd like to wish Tayls the best of luck in Leicestershire.

Buxton will visit Your Co-op Community Stadium for a rearranged Vanarama National League North fixture on Tuesday 14 February, 7.45pm kick off.

The initial rearranged fixture for Tuesday 7 February was postponed due to a frozen pitch in areas.

We are delighted to announce the loan signing of goalkeeper Ted Cann on a month long loan deal from West Bromwich Albion.

The 22 year old helped the Baggies to a Premier League 2 Cup win over Wolves in 2021/22, saving two penalties in the penalty shoot out. He has also spent time on loan at Worcester City, AFC Telford United and Yeovil Town.

Ted would have been able to feature in tonight's game against Buxton, however that fixture has been postponed by a Level 1 Professional referee due to frozen areas of the pitch.

Welcome to the Brakes, Ted!

Tonight's National League North game against Buxton has been postponed due to key areas areas of the pitch being frozen including a goalmouth.

Following scans on Monday, we can sadly confirm that during the Blyth Spartans game Callum Hawkins ruptured his ACL and torn both his lateral and medial menisci, meaning that his season is over.

In 31 appearances, Callum kept 15 clean sheets and played a crucial part along with Jake Weaver last season as Leamington finished the campaign with the fourth best defensive record in the league and this season on his own with Brakes also boasting the fourth best defence in the National League North.

Brakes manager Paul Holleran said "Callum had a scan this morning, and had the consultant speak to him this evening. Hopefully he will have the operation within a couple of weeks. He's in good spirits, he's positive and we'll support him in every way we can. Personally we’re gutted as he's had a similar injury and recovered well, and from a football point of view we’re gutted as he’s been one of our top stand out performers this season. He’s at a great club in Burton and they’ll do all they can for him. He'd like to thank everyone for their support over the last couple of days, and we'll support him all the way."

We wish Callum all the best in his recovery and know he will come back stronger. He, as well as Gavin, Jackie and Chloe, are part of the Leamington family and are always welcome back any time at Your Co-op Community Stadium.

Further news on our goalkeeping situation will be announced once confirmed.
