Rushden & Diamonds have allowed youngsters Alex Bolt and Ben Reynolds to join Southern League Premier side Rugby Town on work experience deals.

Bolt and Reynolds are both products of the Rushden youth scheme and have represented the reserve team on a number of occasions.

However, they have failed to break into the first team as yet and have been allowed to join Billy Jeffrey's Rugby Town in order to gain some valuable first-team experience.

Jeffrey, who was also Assistant Manager at Diamonds during Roger Ashby's tenure at Nene Park, has already had ex-Diamond Daniel Grainger on loan this season.

And he seems to be getting the best out of former Diamonds youngster Jason Taylor, who has scored 12 goals in 31 league appearances so far this term.
