I'd rather see Brookes given a start, why does L.W think this guys a better option at the same age
We have completed the season-long loan signing of Leicester City goalkeeper Brad Young.
The 20-year-old shot-stopper arrives to provide competition for Sam Slocombe in a move which will allow Tiernan Brooks to go out on loan to gain valuable match experience.
Young, who hails from Sunderland, joined the Foxes from Hartlepool United and has been selected for England at Under 20s level.
Our head coach Luke Williams said: “We’re really pleased to welcome Brad into the fold.

In the same way that we want Brooks to go on loan to get more first-team experience, surely Leicester would want Young to get first-team football with us, otherwise he's just a reserve like he is at Leicester, training with lower standard players than he would if he stayed there. Curious logic, but no doubt time will tell!
The logic might be that he'll be 2nd choice here. But currently he's 5th choice at Leicester. And they still might sign a new first-choice keeper to replace Kasper.
They've also got another (younger) development squad keeper (Chituru Odunze) who is a US u20 international and an absolute giant (6ft 7). So tbh Brad might not be that highly regarded as 'one for the future' at Leicester.
