Darlington swoop to sign South Shields duo on loan

The pair are the fourth and fifth South Shields players to leave on short-term loan spells in recent weeks.

The pair have penned month-long deals at Blackwell Meadows, with the Mariners currently unable to play matches or train together due to national coronavirus restrictions.

Darlington's National League North season is continuing during the national lockdown, meaning Boney and Lowe will be given an opportunity to compete for game-time over the next month and to maintain their fitness.

They are the fourth and fifth Shields players to complete temporary moves to National League North sides, with Blair Adams and Dillon Morse currently at Gateshead, and Jason Gilchrist at York City.

A Shields statement read: “We wish Myles and Nathan well for their loan spells and look forward to seeing them back in Shields colours at the earliest opportunity.”
