Palace to loan out Hills

Image: Hills: Set for loan move

Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock has confirmed interest in Lee Hills, but is not yet ready to send him out on loan.

Warnock wants to wait, though, before letting full-back go

Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock has confirmed interest in Lee Hills, but is not yet ready to send the teenager out on loan. Hills, who had a spell on loan at Colchester United last season, has made just one late substitute's appearance for Palace this term. The full-back has been linked with a move to Gillingham and Warnock acknowledged clubs have enquired about the 19-year-old. However, Warnock says he will not allow Hills to leave Selhurst Park on loan until after Palace's Championship fixture against Middlesbrough on November 7. Warnock told the South London Press: "I was prepared to let Lee go out on loan three weeks ago, but at the moment I'm going to leave it until after the Middlesbrough game - unless everybody is fit. "There are a number of clubs after him. I want to loan him to get some games, but it's got to fit in with us."
