Queens Park Rangers head of football operations Les Ferdinand is confident that the club's youngsters will have a chance of proving their ability in the first team.
The Premier League outfit have struggled to pave a way for their young talents over the years, and the likes of Max Ehmer, Michael Harriman and Joe Lumley have all been sent out on loan stints.
"There is a pathway to the first team, and going out on loan is part of that pathway – going out and learning to play men's football," Ferdinand told the club's official website.
"Hopefully the player then comes back and has developed enough so that I can be knocking on the manager's door and saying, 'Look, you've got to give this kid a chance."
In the top flight, QPR are currently 19th in the table.
