Re-signed.

Absolutely shocking signing considering his recent history.

Recruitment has been very underwhelming so far considering the "bright future" of the hybrid model.

I'm not sure about this, I think it was for fighting, am I correct?

I suppose the hybrid model suits released prisoners who don't have other jobs they need to work around? Reece Thompson next?

I rated him as a player in the brief time he was with us, but I am very surprised by his return given what's gone on since. However, I suppose people ought to be given a second chance, and we can hope perhaps that what he's gone through has made him a reformed person.

The Chairman will be up to speed with all that's gone on.
One would think measures are in place to make sure his behaviour is going to be monitored.
Everyone deserves a second chance so if the club is prepared to do so, then I'm fine with it.

I dunno, I guess I was expecting our new hybrid model would see us targeting players we otherwise couldn't have signed. No evidence of that so far!

I agree Pete, but given that we don't yet have half a team let alone half a squad, there's time yet for targeting others. At least we know this lad can play.

I think majority of players contracts run out the end of May. So perhaps one or two on the radar, but obviously it makes sense to keep these under your hat. Who is our scout? Is it John Blackwell?

He got a two year sentence and a six year ban from football grounds so he won’t be a lot of use

No mention of a contract being signed, so could be one to quietly disappear over the summer and not turn up for pre-season...

Apparently he can play in the NLN, but not in the first round of the FA Cup and beyond!
