Radio Nottingham reported this morning that we are about to sign him from Newport. Bit of an odd one, 29 years old, played most of his career in non league, but he is a winger, so JS must have seen something in him and I wouldn't have thought he will be on a lot.

 

Was just about to post this! Ive never really heard of him but obviously Sheridan rates him from his Newport days

Neither had I, apparently he scored against us last season, but that doesn't really narrow it down!

 

He did and it was a pretty well taken goal, but I trust shezza, so he must be half decent

he's played at Grimsby Gateshead Newport.

His goal against was good to be fair to him no messing smashed it good movement to I've said it before in this league you don't need 5 huge big names.

You need grafters an battlers and maybe the odd Stanley or the Rubén Reid type someone who can make that difference.

Last year we had no battlers or grafters and in the middle of the park we got out battled.

And the difference between league 2 and conference players ain't massive in my opinion so could be a good signing.

as Sheridan has a habit of getting players who aren't izale mcleod type livin off there big name etc but they do well for themselves.

I trust his judgement 

Yeah in shezza we trust, won't break the bank coyp and England today against the welsh 

JS managed him at Newport last season so he must have seen something he likes.

And if he turns out to be rubbish, at least we can blame everything on Rodders again

I imagine he has a big budget at this level but what's the point spending it on massive signings like mcleods and burkes etc there luxuries not rather have battlers with quality maybe add the odd Rubén Reid type to add some goals etc 

Who?

I don't want write anything negative but Newport and his age, it seems like a signing we would have made last season. That said, I admit - I'm not familiar with his name off the top of my head. What position does he play? I haven't seen anyone mention that (but I may require glasses).

He's a winger boss! He's played in league 2 in the past with Aldershot and Newport obviously but he has spent most of his career in the conference, but so has Jamie vardy! [emoji6]

@notts-joe a winger, 5 goals in 34 games, he can't be any worse than we've already got? Can he? ???? Looks good a decent player..

Hopefully, he has pace and the ability to pick a cross - we do need a winger that can do this and chip in with goals.

I need to do some homework on him.

Cheers.

Is he any good? Vardy earned 1million move to Leicester. What will we buy him for 18k? No comparison.

im not sure what i can say, i do not know of the player and that is not a bad thing but his experience does not speak volumes.

Mark Byrne was at Newport tho last season now at Gillingham and he's in his 26-28 I belive he is a winger.

Actually scored against us at meadow lane Sheridan does this he doesn't sign world beaters he signs players and gets them to over achieve
