3. Ethan Robson - winner
The Houghton-born midfielder needs game time at a key point in his development, a loan to Grimsby Town provides Robson with a good opportunity to shine away from Sunderland. | JPIMedia Photo: Frank Reid
4. Laurens De Bock - winner
The left-back was way down the pecking order at Championship Leeds United, dropping down into League One to get minutes under his belt will likely be a good move for the 26-year-old left-back. | JPIMedia Photo: YORICK JANSENS
