The following are the loan rules in force in the Football League for the coming season:
Long Term Loans: Loans last from transfer window to transfer window for either a half of full season. Clubs are allowed to register a maximum of eight such signings, four under 23 and a further four over 23 in any season, with only two over 23's being allowed to come from the same club.
Emergency (Short Term) Loans: Clubs can take players on short term emergency loans during the closed periods in exceptional circumstances - there is no limit on the number of emergency loans.
As in previous seasons, no more than five loan players - of either type - will be allowed to feature in a club's 16 man matchday squad. The transfer deadline of the fourth Thursday in March in each season still applies.
