<font face="Arial" size="2">The rules applying to loan players remain the same this season, i.e.</font> <font face="Arial" size="2">players of all ages can be loaned from window to window for either a half or full season. Clubs are allowed to register a maximum of eight such signings, four under 23 and a further four over 23 in any season, with only two of the latter age group being allowed to come from the same club.</font> </p>

<font face="Arial" size="2">Additionally, clubs to take players on short term emergency loans during the closed periods in exceptional circumstances &ndash; there is no limit on the number of emergency loans.</font></p>

<font face="Arial" size="2">As in previous seasons, no more than five loan players will be allowed to feature in a club&rsquo;s 16 man matchday squad.</font><font face="Tahoma" size="2"> </font>
