Loan moves can often prove to be pivotal periods during a player's career.
For those still of a young age or in need of regular minutes, individuals often return to their parent club having gained valuable skills they otherwise may not have obtained.

The defender marked his return to the Reds in style, scoring from his own half in an under-21s triumph over PSG.
