HITC Sport understands Bolton, Wigan, Bradford and Oxford are chasing the Liverpool defender.

A number of Championship and League One clubs are eyeing a move for Liverpool defender Lloyd Jones, HITC Sport understands.

Jones is well down the pecking order at Liverpool and the club are understood to be willing to let him move on before the close of the transfer window.

Jones is unlikely to force his way into Jurgen Klopp’s plans and the defender is ready to move on in search of regular first-team football at this stage of his career.

The 22-year-old joined Liverpool from Plymouth Argyle back in 2011 and he impressed in the youth ranks at Anfield, but he has been unable to establish himself in the first-team.

The powerful central defender has enjoyed spells out on loan Blackpool, Accrington, Cheltenham and Swindon Town during the last three seasons and all four clubs were keen to sign Jones on a permanent basis only for Liverpool to reject their offers.

Jones made over 50 first-team appearances during his stints out on loan and his performances have not gone unnoticed among other Football League clubs.

Championship side Bolton Wanderers and League One trio Wigan Athletic, Bradford City and Oxford United are all weighing up moves for Jones as they look to strengthen their defensive options this month.
