RYMAN PREMIER: Billericay Town have added highly-rated Millwall defender Keaton Wood on loan until the end of the season.

Wood, 19, is a regular for the Lions Under-21 side and follows in the footsteps of Dylan Casey, who was on loan at the club last year.

He was expected to line-up last night for Town against Kingstonian in the league, in the absence of captain Richard Halle who has pneumonia.

Ryan Scott is also set to be sidelined for three games after his red card in Saturday’s defeat to Canvey Island.

Manager Craig Edwards said Wood was “a promising, young talent” and thanked Millwall for helping them out of their defensive crisis.
