Rowett must loan and not sell these 3 Derby County players in the summer

The 22-year-old academy graduate is approaching the stage of his young career in which he either breaks into the first-team on a regular basis or falls into a lower level of football, with the latter appearing most likely at the moment.

Hanson needs to prove to his boss that he has the ability to challenge for a starting spot and could turn Rowett’s head with a series of impressive displays whilst out on loan.

Plenty of clubs in the third tier will covet his services and Hanson will surely start in League One, giving him an opportunity to show his expectant manager that he does indeed have a future at the club.
