November 29, 2009
League One side Tranmere Rovers have allowed striker Kithson Bain join Kettering on a loan. The Grenada international has made only six appearances since joining Rovers in the summer. Tranmere caretaker boss Les Parry believes the 27 year-old will benefit from regular football.

“This move will give him more experience of competitive football and allow him to get a few games under his belt. Hopefully he will return here in January and push for a place in the team.”
League One rivals Brentford have decided to let their striker Steve Kabba join Burton Albion on loan. Burton manager Paul Peschisolido knows the player well having played with him at Sheffield United.
The Albion boss revealed: “I know Steve from my time at Bramall Lane. He’s a good lad and if he’s half the player he was back then he will be a great asset to us.
“He’s quick and he’s desperate to play and get a run in first-team football again. This is a great opportunity for us and a great opportunity for him to re-launch himself as a player.”

He told the press: “I have applied for the job at Grimsby. The fact I’ve just retired as a player was purely coincidental, but this is too good an opportunity for me to let it pass by.
“I was disappointed not to get the chance at Darlington when (manager) Colin (Todd) left and I’ve always said I wanted to be a manager, to make my own decisions and be my own man. I’ve said that for many years now. Grimsby would be a great club for me to start my managerial career and I believe I’ve got the hunger and attributes to make a real success of it.”
