Birmingham City are back in the Championship after winning the League One title at a canter
Jeremy Sarmiento has now completed three Championship loans and won two promotions
Birmingham City had plenty of success out of their loan signings last season and it’s likely that the club will utilise that market once again this summer.
Rangers duo Ben Davies and Kieran Dowell were big hits at St Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park, while Taylor Gardner-Hickman impressed so much that Blues wrapped up his signing six months early. Alfons Sampsted and Luke Harris played their part in Blues’ League One triumph too.
James Beadle, the England under-21 goalkeeper who has spent the last 18 months on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, is expected to wind up at Blues on loan for starters.
There were 74 players on loan in the Championship last season, excluding Blues’ own Dion Sanderson, and the chances are that some of them will be available again.
With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of every Championship loanee from last season….
