Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale says he will be keeping a close eye on Matt Jay and Ollie Watkins after the duo joined Weston-super-Mare on a one-month loan deal.
Forwards Jay and Watkins have both featured for City's first team this season having signed their first professional deals at St James's Park in the summer.
However, they have gone down the pecking order in recent weeks with the arrivals of Clinton Morrison, Alex Nicholls and Ryan Harley to City.
Therefore Tisdale is keen for them to go out on loan and play some games and admits Conference South side Weston-super-Mare is a good fit.
"They both highly regarded players who need to keep progressing with their football," said Tisdale. "They have been on the bench for us, but with the introduction of Clinton Morrison, Ryan Harley and Alex Nicholls opportunities are dwindling for them at present.
"So it was a good opportunity to play at Weston-super-Mare. Initially it is only a month, but it might go on a bit longer, as it is within touching distance of Exeter, so it is not too much travelling, and it is a good club and we will be able to keep a good eye on them."
Jay and Watkins could both feature for Weston on Tuesday evening when they play Farnborough at home. That could see Watkins line-up against City right-back Aaron Dawson, who is currently on loan at Farnborough.
