Both Callam Mendez-Lang (pictured) and Josh Webb have come back from long-term injuries and as part of their rehabilitation have been sent out on short-term loans with the Royals in order to build their fitness up.

Defender Mendez-Jones, 25, joined the Pitmen in February 2020.

He started his career with West Bromwich Albion where he progressed through to play for the under-18s and under-23s.

He had a loan spell with Accrington Stanley whilst on the Baggies` books and was released in the summer of 2017, eventually joining Hednesford.

He left the Pitmen for Halesowen Town in December 2018 having clocked up over 50 appearances and was a consistent member of the backline after signing in November 2017.

In September 2019 he moved to Rushall Olympic and then to Redditch United just two months later.

Webb is a versatile 26-year-old player in both defence and midfield.

He is ex-England under-17 and under-18 international whilst on Aston Villa`s books.

He joined the Pitmen in May from Sutton Coldfield`s league rivals Coleshill Town.

He has also played in Scotland for Kilmarnock and for Kidderminster Harriers.

Hednesford manager Keenen Meakin-Richards told https://www.hednesfordtownfc.com: “Webby and Callum have both been out for a while, we saw the benefit of sending people out on short-term loans with Ben Bailey coming back fit after his short spell at Walsall Wood and ready to play so we are happy that both players are going to get some game time with Sutton Coldfield to get them back up to match sharpness”.
