Once you have submitted the loan documentation, if the club you are loaning the player to hasn't submitted the registration form for the player, the loan process has not been completed yet.

At this stage you can no longer action the players Active Registrations page, so it is up to Club B to ensure they move the status from ENTERED to SUBMITTED.

Once the loan agreement and the registration form for Club B have seen SUBMITTED, the FAW can complete the process and confirm both the loan agreement and the player's registration with Club B.

Until this is done, the player will not be able to be selected for Club B.
