Gray Delighted To Get Pattison Loan Confirmed

The midfielder joins from Middlesborough's under 23s on a one month loan deal, writes Tom Feaheny.

"Alex has been at Middlesbrough for ten or eleven years and is very, very highly thought of. I believe he will have a really big future in the game at a higher level," Gray told York City's website.

"He is a very attacking minded midfield player and he has got a goal in his game, for sure. We have known about him for a long time."

Pattison hasn't played many games this season due to injury, with Gray thinking the move works for all parties.

"He's just come back from injury so I think it will benefit everybody. He will get the game-time that he needs and he will get the senior football that Academy players at that age need to experience."
