WORCESTER City's teenage defender Danny Hodnett has joined neighbours Evesham United on loan.

Hodnett moves to the Robins, currently embroiled in a Southern League Premier Division relegation dogfight, to gain more first-team experience.

The 19-year-old has made 10 starts and three substitute appearances since joining last summer, but has struggled to cement a regular place.

City boss Andy Preece said: "This is just to give Danny the chance to get competitive games under his belt."
