Loan (sports)

Andros Townsend was loaned by Tottenham Hotspur to nine separate clubs between the ages of 17 and 21, before breaking into the first team at his parent club.[1]

In sports, a loan involves a particular player being able to temporarily play for a club other than the one to which they are currently contracted. Loan deals may last from a few weeks to a full season, sometimes persisting for multiple seasons at a time. A loan fee can be arranged by the parent club as well as them asking to pay a percentage of their wages.
