Loanee is the one place a parent club sees every player out on loan: minutes and starts against the clauses you are funded on, training load, injuries, and an honest report from whoever actually watched the game.
No card required. Loan clubs join free, for ever.
A young player at another club could be the most expensive long-term thing you own and the least visible. These are the questions that decide whether the loan is working, and whether you get paid.
Many loans are funded per start. A player on the bench is not just a development problem, it is money you have not earned.
Eight starts by December sounds fine in August. By October it needs a phone call, if anyone has counted.
He tweaked a hamstring on Tuesday. Their physio knows. You find out when he misses a third game.
Not the result. The performance. Whoever watched him has it in their head, a notebook, or nowhere.
Right now that arrives as a WhatsApp from a coach, a forwarded email, a spreadsheet somebody remembered to update, and a call to a physio you have never met. Loanee replaces all four with one record per loan that the loan club keeps current, because filling it in takes them under a minute.
Every loan gets one record. The parent club reads it; the loan club keeps it current. Nobody emails anybody a document.
Write the deal into the record: starts, start percentage, minutes, appearances over a given length, each with the deadline that applies. Loanee counts every appearance against it and projects forward from the games still to play.
The person with the information is a part-time coach at a lower-league club who does not work for you and is not being paid for this. So their side is free, works on a phone, and never asks twice for something Loanee already knows.
Match-watch reports use your own criteria, scored consistently, so three reports from three people still add up to a trend rather than three opinions.
Training load and medical history follow the player to the loan club and back again, so the week he returns is not the week you start guessing.
Every six to eight weeks somebody asks whether to bring him back, leave him there, or sell him. That answer is currently assembled by hand from four places. Here it is one button.
Every number in every loan system is somebody's observation of him. Once a month Loanee asks him directly, and the value is the gap: a lad on 70% of the minutes who rates his game time 2 out of 5 is telling you something no fixture list can.
Loan, quarterly and match objectives with a status history, so the review at the end is written from evidence.
Their season imported once, then started / on / unused / injured per game, feeding every clause automatically.
The signed loan agreement, the information-request form and anything else, held against the loan rather than an inbox.
Clips gathered against the player and the fixture they came from, not scattered across three drives.
Speak a match report or a note and it is transcribed, built for someone standing in the rain, not at a desk.
A shareable page for a club considering a loan, showing exactly what you choose to show and nothing else.
Below target, injury logged, no data for a week, loan ending in 30 days, routed to whoever needs to act, with a task to close.
What he was worth when he left and what he is worth now, dated and sourced, so the loan can be judged on the thing it was for.
Loans manager, sports science, medical, management. Each sees their part; the loan club sees only its own players.
If a parent club invites you, your account is free, for that loan and every other one you take, from any club, for as long as you use it. One login, all your loanees, whoever owns them.
No platform fee, no minimum, no per-seat charge. Invite your whole staff. If a loan ends, you stop paying for it that month.
Clubs who send players out on loan
£9 for each loanee above 15, so a Category One academy is not punished for having a pathway.
Clubs who host somebody else's player
Invited by a parent club, or sign up directly and ask them to connect.
Players out on loan: 8
The first 15 loanees at £12, then £9 each. Prices exclude VAT.
You register, add your loans, and invite the loan clubs. There is no card taken and nothing to cancel. If you do nothing at the end, the account simply becomes read-only and your data stays exportable.
Thirty days is deliberate. Football runs in weeks, and the whole point of Loanee is watching numbers accumulate across several fixtures. Two weeks gives you two match days and proves nothing; a month gives you four or five, by which time a clause is visibly on track or visibly not.
That is the real question, and it is why their side is free and built for a phone. Marking a session takes three taps, and they are never asked for something Loanee can already work out: appearances come from the fixture list, MD labels from the fixture, load from a GPS file they already export.
If a loan club goes quiet, you see it: the loan is flagged when nothing has arrived for a week, so you chase a person rather than discovering the gap in January.
Upload the export. Catapult and StatSports column names are recognised, and anything unusual can be mapped once in settings and then remembered. If a club has no GPS at all, minutes and starts still come from the fixture list, which is what the clauses are counted on.
A loan club sees only the players it hosts, and only the modules relevant to hosting them: attendance, injuries, load, match submissions. It never sees contracts, valuations, psychological testing, scouting verdicts, or another parent club's players.
On your side, roles map to the staff you already have: loans manager, sports science, medical, management. A physio sees medical; a sports scientist sees load.
It is optional, off until you switch it on, and it will not switch on until you have named the person who is going to read the answers. It goes only to loanees who are 18 or over.
The link opens one form. It is not a login: he cannot see his own reports, ratings, valuation or medical record, because none of those are things a nineteen-year-old should read about himself. His answers never reach the report you send upstairs, never feed any score, and are never shown to the club hosting him, because he has to be able to say nobody is coaching him.
It is also not a disclosure channel, and the form says so: it carries your own safeguarding contact and points him there for anything serious. Section 6 of the DPA sets all of this out, and is worth putting in front of whoever handles safeguarding before you enable it.
Yes. Loan players are usually young, and much of this is health data. There is a Data Processing Agreement covering the parent club as controller, per-module access control rather than blanket permissions, and full export and deletion on request. Read the DPA, privacy notice and terms.
Two loanees is £24 a month. If one of them is on a deal funded per start, a single missed clause costs more than a season of Loanee. There is no minimum and no platform fee precisely so that a club with two loanees can use it on the same terms as a club with thirty.
Yes. Leagues are loaded centrally, so a division's fixtures are already there and a loan picks them up. Squads, players and existing loans can be imported rather than keyed in. Send what you have and it gets loaded for you during the trial.
Thirty days, no card, every feature. Add one loanee and invite one loan club. That is enough to know whether it works for you.
Or create a free loan-club account if you host loan players.
