Glasgow Rangers midfielder Jamie Barjonas has left Ibrox on loan, and the Gers will be monitoring his progress closely.
Barjonas has become the latest Light Blues prospect to have left the Scottish Premiership side this summer, with the 19-year-old making the switch to Gigg Lane until January.
And Mulholland has hinted that the club will be monitoring his progress closely as they are hoping to potentially make Barjonas the first of many to make that move in the coming windows.
“Mark Allen and the manager, Steven Gerrard, have really good contacts at Bury and if it is successful for Jamie then we could build a relationship which may see other Academy players move there in the future.”
It will certainly be advantageous for Rangers to find a club that they can send their young players to to get first-team football under their belt. And Bury would surely welcome the chance to strike up some sort of relationship given the many exciting prospects trying to break into the senior side at Ibrox.
And if nothing else, the move could present Barjonas with a fantastic opportunity. Rangers will obviously be watching the teenager’s progress closely anyway, but perhaps the door being left open for a partnership between the two will tempt the club to watch the midfielder even closer.
It is a great chance for Barjonas to showcase his potential at senior level, and if he thrives with Ryan Lowe’s side, then perhaps he will be followed by several more Gers youngsters in the future.
