Playing Career


Club(s)

He began his career at Braintree, going to Ian Smith's Football School, Smith was a coach at Ipswich Town FC and Loach was invited in for an eight week goalkeeping trial. He impressed and was offered a two year contract at the age of only eight years. Loach remained with Ipswich until the age of twelve, afterwhich, family work commitments took them back to Nottingham. It was arranged that he would train with Nottingham Forest FC for the remainder of his Ipswich contract, Loach trained for a only few weeks with Forest because Chesterfield FC signed him on a two year deal. But after a year at Chesterfield, they went into administration and the youth team suffered by folding. Loach then went on to play for ex-Forest player Colin Barrett's under-16 side at Southwell United FC, at the age of only fourteen. Keith Wart, Lincoln City FC's scout spotted Loach and invited him in for a trial. He signed a two year deal at Lincoln City FC, but was never offered a professional contract.
