"This move will be good for both players," said manager Jon Brady.

"St Ives have a very busy first month of the season with seven or eight games scheduled and the lads will learn a lot by playing regular first-team football with and against senior, experienced players.

"This move forms part of our plans for both players, they will learn a lot about the physicality of the game and how to use their bodies and we will monitor their progress closely over the next few weeks.
