Town chief believes it was the right call to send Kioso out on loan to Bolton

Hatters manager Nathan Jones has been impressed with the way in which defender Peter Kioso has started his season-long loan spell at League Two side Bolton Wanderers, insisting it was the right move for him to make.

The 21-year-old was sent out ahead of the transfer window closing last Thursday and has made two appearances for Ian Evatt's side since.

Kioso has certainly caught the eye too, an assist on debut as the Trotters were beaten 2-1 by Oldham at the weekend and then scoring his first ever pro goal in the 3-3 draw at Barrow on Tuesday night.

The former Dunstable and Hartlepool played was named star man by the Wanderers supporters for his efforts against the Bluebirds, also making the League Two Team of the Midweek side selected on the @WhoScored ratings.

Although Jones is struggling for full backs at the moment, with both James Bree and Dan Potts not back yet, while Brendan Galloway is still out for the foreseeable future too, he said: “That’s exactly why we’ve got him out.

“Would he have started here? Maybe in the current climate, but when Bree comes back, we felt it was better to get him out with the window shutting.

“We made the decision and we feel it's a good one for him.

“He’s going to get games immediately now.

"He’s played more league games than he has before, he’s made his league debut, had an assist, scored a goal, been in good form, so hopefully that continues.

“Hopefully Bolton pick up results as well with him in the team so that he has a real positive experience, but with the full knowledge that he is going to come back here and compete here.”
