The 19-year-old joined the club last week after arriving from Canadian Premier League side Cavalry FC, and will now head out on loan to get regular minutes under his belt.

Pepple will link up with fellow summer signing John McAtee at Blundell Park for his first taste of senior football in England.

We are also able to confirm that John will undergo an operation on a shoulder injury sustained in the opening day defeat against Leyton Orient. We look forward to seeing the two young Hatters on the pitch together as soon as possible.

Best of luck, Bim!
