Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Assuming we manage to retain our League status, I'd presume the next immediate & pressing concern for Leam is to tie up players he wishes to retain for next season.

I can only assume that the only reason certain players haven't been tied down before now is due to the uncertainty regarding League status.:confused:

In recent weeks, things seemed to have "clicked" and we look more like a side which would be in a better position than where we currently lie.:o

Therefore, I'd like to think that as soon as things are secured regarding League football, the sooner the typist in the office is getting busy with new contracts in readiness for the "chosen ones" to sign their new deals, the better.:D

Everyone will have differing opinions....but a few key observations for me.....

Boco.....With reported interest from "the snake"....Boco's contract needs sorting A.S.A.P. In the latter half of the season his drive & determination has been key. He's top scorer (with good reason) and I think we'd struggle to replace a player of his numerous attributes... A must sign for me.

Linganzi.....what a find !!! He's shown in recent weeks he can be a linchpin in midfield. He's already won numerous admirers at other clubs. He clearly has the ability to play at a higher level and given a full season will be a sought after asset who could command a substantial fee. The sort of fee that changes thigs ( ala Ormerod ) His signature should be another Leam secures pretty damn quick.:o

Molyneux.....Not a lot to be said really is there??? An absolute "no brainer"...a definate two year contract with improved terms needs to be sorted A.S.A.P. This lad has the potential to play at Championship level at the least. And make Stanley a lot of money when he does move on.:o

I could go on about other players, in reality I'd like to see the majority of the current squad tied up for another season. It seems that Leam has finally got things ticking over and a squad that he can "progress" with. With a couple of additions, who knows what next season will bring.:confused:

We've seen the green shoots of recovery in recent weeks. Certain other posters ( no names mentioned ) clamoured for Leam's removal when the storm clouds lurked. With light now at the end of the tunnel, I feel we need to back a promising young manager with the resources to continue the improvement. Pretty Damn Quick...Before we get cherry picked....again.:(

Financial resources / constraints will in all probability always be a factor in such matters. Though I do feel that as a club we should be recognising talent and our saleable assets and tying them down on contracts which maximise our compensation. Prime example.... Crewe Alex......

All this in mind, I now put the matter forward for your considered opinions !!!

Your thoughts please....Ladies & Gentlemen....:D

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Totally agree with your thoughts and your identification of the three 'must-have' players: Boco, Linganzi and Molyneux.
Unfortunately, Stanley are caught in a financial bind in a world where players themselves have much more say in such matters. At League 2 level, having one year [or shorter] contracts may suit some players at less wealthy clubs. It may be in the player's interest to hold out to see what another club will offer rather than sign again for the club they are with.
But it would be nice, for once, to think that this Stanley squad could go on and develop into an even better team next season, rather than the manager having to start again almost from scratch in August.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

WHEN we confirm our league status, I will give my full opinion.

But agreed we have to do everything to try and keep Boco, Moly & Linganzi, but I fear they are all already gone. :(

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Common sense tells me Smudge is more n likely correct, twill always be the case wi top players at small clubs. its what makes the roller coaster go around.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Agree with the above and would add Aldred, Townsend and Jeffers to the list. We can but dream.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I agree with other posters on this thread but who is Townsend

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

What a quaintly old fashioned image that brings to mind! I thought typists were extinct. My wife was one of the shorthand variety many moons ago!

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Agreed would also love to see Aldred stay, he has been magnificent !

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I'm sad to report ASFC definately don't have a typist!! ;) On a positive note somebody can fill in the blanks on the pre-done form things!!:)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

When/If players move on it will be for financial gain only. Look at the players who have been taken over the years , have they progressed ? Take Andy Proctor ( as an example only ) he progressed to Preston North End , was made captain , how often do you hear of him having played,very often on the bench.
I think most of our players should stay put , if only to get more experience . Lee Molyneux didn't make the team for quite a lot of games, he sat on bench, then hey presto he comes on as a sub at Rochdale, takes a superb free kick , saves the day and is now in team every game, he is improving each time,would be a shame to see him sat on the bench at another club.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

As much as we all love Stanley, for the players it is above all a job. And which of us would not move job for more money.
And it is part of the deal of playing here that players are not held on to against their will. Most / Many of the players are really only here to put them selves in the shop window and if linganzi, boco, molyneaux can earn more elsewhere we have to let them go and search round for the next ones on the conveyor.
It's a tough old life but we don't have the problems that Man City, Chelsea etc have with a bloated squad of millionaire bench-warmers (as if!)

(and i agree: New Contract for Townsend! NOW!)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I seem to recall someone on here said we had just 2 players under contract when season ends. Can't remember who or on what thread it was?:confused: Unless i'm losing the plot or summat.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Dixon and Clark i think were the only two year contracts signed last year

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Not losing your marbles just yet Cashy

From memory Luke Clark two year deal last summer and this season Marcus Carver & Andrew Dawber signed new contracts

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Ignore Townsend. I mean Wilson! I'm fast losing it.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Glad I’m not on my own on that one Red
As for contracts/ retained I would just like to say
“LEAM GOOD LUCK AND BIG THANK YOU”
Who would want to be a manager of a team like Stanley, at the end of the season you fight for survival, next you lose your best players then you have to look for new available players to start the new season, what tremendous pressure is put on our manager

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

As others have said, sadly we'll no doubt have to wait till other clubs have picked over our bones before we can look for signatures to contracts. Fact of life, a footballer's career is short and can't blame anyone of them for maximising their opportunities. Just so long as we have Leam under a decent contract and we the Stanley family back him 100%, unlike some muppet clubs who desert their manager when things get tough. Would not like to be in the trenches with those of that weak-knee'd attitude. Things are always likely to be a struggle at little ol' Stanley but letting Leam be confident in the fans' backing despite periods of bleak results can only but be a force in continuing to punch above our weight. Bookies fav for the drop again next term no doubt, but do we care - we are the mighty Stanley.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Good post L.L.S. But bear in mind theres one or two Muppets on here.:D

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

My humble opinions, (not included loaness)

2. Peter Murphy (Already has a deal, KEEP)

8. Charlie Barnett (Exit Door, GONE)
9. Francis Jeffers (KEEP)
10. Will Hatfield (Essential to the way we play now, KEEP)
11. Aidan Chippendale (Who?, GONE)
12. George Miller (Looks a decent young player, KEEP)
14. Luke Clark (Already has a deal, KEEP)
15. Bohan Dixon (Not up to it for me, EXIT)

18. Tom Eckersley (Looks decent but Leam doesnt rate him, so EXIT)
19. Marcus Carver (Already has a deal, KEEP)
21. James Beattie (A good presence around the club, and an ultra ;), KEEP)
22. Andrew Dawber (Massive talent, already has a deal, KEEP)

34. Laurence Wilson (KEEP)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

That list seems about right to me, If only...............

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

There will be lots of fresh talent and seasoned pro's out of contract this summer; lets hope Leam picks up a few who are hungry and can take us places.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Leam will already have targets in mind,but can't disagree with any of smudgies comments (which is unusual for me !!!)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

If Moly and Linganzi somehow stay then Leam should get the freedom of the borough. Please God make this happen!!! :)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

If they stay Alvin,i'm off to the bookies again wi another daft bet.:D N if Franny Jeffers is still here,i am anyway.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

After the initial euphoria of our survival battle, yes, the question of summer changes has to be considered once again!!?? I really hope that this squad, that we have seen start to really develop in the last ten matches or so, can be kept intact. It was disastrous two seasons ago to see the heart totally ripped out of our "play off" squad. Leam and the staff will do all that they can to keep this team together for the benefit of Stanley but of course if heads get turned by bigger clubs offering more money, then he cannot stand in their way..that's life in the world of football I suppose!!
I would just like the current players to ponder on the relative success or otherwise of those lads from two years ago who left us for "greener pastures". Hmmm....:rolleyes:I wonder if some of them wish that they had stuck with the Stanley????
Stick with the Stanley guys and continue to be part of our historical journey. :mosher:
ON STANLEY ON:jimbo:

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Hope the board can see that the money Moly has saved us with his wonder goals is worth incentivising his new contract. Hopefully we can show some ambition and offer a couple of two year deals.

I know why the club doesn't often do this as we often take gambles on young players but for ones that have already proven their worth...why not? At the very least it ensures we get a few more pennies should they be poached.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Not going to get carried away as it is out of our hands

The Squad has proved it's worth of that there is no doubt and there are players within it who would walk into most teams in League Two & higher but it boils down to the playing budget & balancing it?

We may have to be patient and see how it unfurls and if the worst should happen and it becomes a rebuilding job I have every faith that Leam will take Stanley forward as his signings have proved since he had a bit of space to manoeuvre in the transfer market.:)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Linganzi,the Yaya toure of league two !!,can't see him here next season,indeed he's far better than anyone in Blackburns first team !!,what he was doing playing for Acci will be a mystery,real top drawer IMHO

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Ian Craney back?

Telford wont be keeping him for the BS North

First Team - Players & Coaches - Ian Craney - AFC Telford United

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

And there lies your answer. If Telford don't want him to play at a level two leagues below where we are.......

I despair at times...I really do...:enough:

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Why on earth? He couldn't get a regular place in Coleys Rochdale, Shame but a talent wasted.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

As per Jeffers and Beattie, Leam is picking up the nack of getting talented players to perform.

Craney is talented.
We have already had this debate.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Well let's put it another way then.....Who would you drop from the side to accomodate him ???

Sorry, Craney was talented but every dog has it's day. He's had three cracks of the whip here. Coleman & Bell soon got shut of him from 'Dale. He's now been shown the door from a side who finished bottom of the Conference.

No thanks.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I wonder,is the fact hes a scouser any bearing on this?

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Strange fact -we have kept 14 clean sheets this season !,despite all the chopping and changing with keepers and players

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

There is one Barrow player who is worth a look at ;)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Yeh mean sean?:eek:

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Nooooooooooooooooooooo :)

Alex Rae Harvey, would be good for Stanley, still lives in Burnley so expenses would be cheap :D

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

According to Barrow site he aint played fer em yet, so why would n unused dingle be any use?:confused:

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

SEAN HESSEY by chance Dave:)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Wake up mate i asked that a few posts back.:p

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Think the Barrow site is about as far behind as their chances of promotion this season :)

He's played 32 games, and according to his boss has stood out despite playing in a dismal team.

From what I've heard I think Sean has had his day I'm afraid

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

In that case Dave, the lads worth checking out.:)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Barrow AFC - Football - Lee McEvilly Footballer

this is the only Barrow player I would sign

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Had a short loan spell at Fleetwood when they won the conference. They didn't take him on but from what I can gather he's learnt a lot playing a full season at Barrow. Always thought he would do better at Burnley but he's not the tallest footballer around :D

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

You do realise today is the 21st of April not the 1st :D

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Stop it will you......I've nearly spat a mouthfull of lager all over the screen reading that comment !!!:rofl38::sick:

I really do hope you're not serious with these comments:eek:

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Davo is extracting the urine,:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I suspect Davo is living in a parallel past universe that's a decade behind the one that Stanley now inhabit.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

It was a joke, then again...

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

The rumour mill is busy some could be right most will be wrong, but anyway here is a link to a list of players rumoured to be leaving and joining Stanley

Accrington Stanley Rumours

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

That website is about as factual as a political party manifesto in a General election

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I normally ignore it, Probably owned by some wannabes.:)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH!!

Walsall and Oldham scouts at the SFS v Morecambe!!

Unless they paid cash on the turnstiles neither club where present!!

Several other managers/scouts were present, but defo not those:p

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Maybe it will be proved how useless it is later ;)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

the website and scout spotting may be rubbsih but does anyone genuinely think we will hang on to Lingazi, Boco, Molyneux, Jeffers, Beattie (Hope not).

Are Wilson, Hunt, Rachuba and Hughes on loan still? - doubtful if we can we afford them???

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I rest my case :D

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Would like to hope so ......... Jeffers and Beattie can help the club big time, and don't seem to be costing us a lot. Wilson is ours (not on loan); Hughes went back to Bury after his injury, I understand; Hunt's on loan from Rotherham - nice if we could get him; Rachubka is out of contract this year at Leeds, I believe.

Linganzi, Boco and Molyneux are likely the first three who'll be targeted, I'd think, maybe along with Tom Aldred. Hope we get to keep the lot, personally :D - that'd put the wind up League Two for next season! :p:p:p

And don't forget our recent record (with these same players) - P8 W5 D2 L1

Stanley for the Cup! :alright:

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Rachubka or Belford or Dunbavin

Winnard, Aldred, Hughes, Wilson
Joyce, Linganzi
Boco, Hatfield, Molyneux
Jeffers

that team would rip League 2 a new arsehole next season

:)

players like Hunt to reinforce the right side, Amond or Beattie to change the front line.

I think we need a real midfield enforcer and probably a right sided midfielder who can cross a ball. As good as Hatfield has been recently, Boco would do an even better job through the middle if we had a right sided player

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

please can we have some money Mr Khan? :)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

That would be a dream team in my eyes rob.:eek:

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

As good as this team has grown into we have to accept cold hard facts that we should as a Club be governed by strict Budgets within that there has to be scope to manoeuvre but that has to come from the same pot.

Players also deserve our respect if they also decide to move on to which they think will further their careers they have helped the cause by keeping us in League Two for which we should be grateful not as in another thread on here in subject of ridicule.

We must become self sufficient no ifs and no buts.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

They're working on it!

Stanley eye a cash boost (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Sean McCon-vile thread?

I agree with what you've said there Neil, except that this particular non-league player deserved every last bit of ridicule as he made a ludicrously ridiculous decision to join a non league club that was imploding in favour of staying with the club that was threatening to go places.

Not only that but he did not inform his Uncle Jimmy and adopted uncle John that he was going until he had gone. I am positive that it was decision to go that ripped apart the most succesful squad this club has ever had.


I've got half a mind to copy and paste this into that thread just so that your name appears in it!!! :alright:

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

You may kiss ass Neil, but i never will.:rolleyes:

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

You see something within that I don't :confused:

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I kiss no one's Butt Cashy

The thread is nearly two years old and that tells me all I need to know Thanks

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

That team would be Top 6 for me.

No question.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I would imagine that's a page filling story. Peter would have been trying to get investment in for the past few years. Maybe they have already been offered it :rolleyes:

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

As speculation about next year's squad has replaced cricket as this country's favourite summer sporting pastime, here's a question that's just intended to provoke some debate.
If we could guarantee to retain the current squad but had to find more money to keep Boco, Linganzi and Molyneux in particular, how much more would you pay to watch Stanley per game?
Mmmm..?

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I am sure Proccy only has 12 months left on his contract at Preston,if he's not getting a game,wonder if a deal could be done,I would defo have him back as I can't see Linganzi being here,who I rate as being one of the most talented lads I have seen in a Acci shirt

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

To kick you off Exile I personally would have paid what I paid last year for a Season Ticket

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Can't argue wi that!

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Again my twopenneth on this thread. Try and keep the lot, offer a 2 year deal to Linganzi, Moly, Boco and offer Hunt a contract if he will leave Rotherham. Goalie wise do we keep Rachubka as cover for Bav's or do we look elsewhere? Over the last 15 games, this team has gelled nicely and I would certainly retain Beattie and Jeffers if possible.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I would retain all those if possible, reckon the goalie to me is a confidence player,n in recent games has certainly earned his corn,:)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I think the best Leam can hope for is that the players who will be tempted by the money tell him at the outset so he knows he will have to cover those positions. Unfortunatley recent form means it's likely there will be a big shift in turnover, very few players have loyalty to a club, human nature says if a well paid job is offered you are likely to take it. Only later will you know if you regret it. I'm sure we have all been there.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Recent form is far from unfortunate in my book, were still a league club.;)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Pedantic git, you knew what I meant :D:D

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Hey Dingle i'm no peado.:D:D

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

To be honest, I think we've got to put good, improved deals in front of all of the lads under 24.Ideally 2 year contracts for the star performers.
Add some incentive based clauses..... should we progress towards holding down a place in the top seven / promotion and others should we achieve the goal of promotion next season.

Build in provisions that they're free to speak to another side as long as a realistic minimum bid is received for any of them during the duration of the contract (should they sign the improved deal)

And try & persuade some of these lads, that forwarding their career at Stanley in the short term may be better than getting splinters in their backsides at a "bigger" club.

If all that fails, then at least by offering improved terms to the lads under 24 we get a fee if they turn down the improved deal, should they choose to move on. Should they sign the improved deals and a bigger side comes sniffing, we get a "proper" fee.:o

It would be nice to keep the majority of these players next season as I think the "penny has dropped" and we're now playing as a very effective and cohesive unit. Like others have said, a few additions in certain areas and this side could suprise a few next season.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

that's the real heartbreak of being a poor club. Linganzi has some real potential which will only be fulfilled if he is playing week in week out. If he stays here for a while longer (half a chance, he's been bench warming for a long time) then we could stand to make a goodly amount of money on him - but we can't afford to offer him the deal that should make him stay ... so we'll get nowt.

Similar story for Molyneux but I suspect not as high a potential fee eventually

Alex Cisak is another who could have played another 100 games for us in League 2 and would probably be on higher radars now - but went to Oldham and is now out of favour.

Bobby Grant, Jimmy Ryan - if we could have afforded improved offers to stave off the interest of a slighter higher club would have played week in week out at a level they excelled at and would probably have got bigger moves.


I don't begrudge any of them for moving on for the first sniff of better money, but it's such a shame that we'll probably never get the big money because we cant hold on to them long enough.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I personally wouldn't mind if Alex Cisak came back to us from Oldham and possibly Phil Edwards from Rochdale, surprisingly and controversially, I would have Andy Mangan back off Fleetwood, but Ithink they are all probably non-starters for our little club.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

perhaps that gives way to a close season distraction thread?

what 18 man squad would you have out of the players that have played for us in recent seasons (and are still playing) if we had twice the budget that we have? Given that we reckon this seasons budget to be around £500k, a cool £1m still wouldn't be much to some of the teams in this division but would double the wages keep Linganzi, Molyneux and Boco? Would double the wages have kept hold of Edwards, Cisak, Grant and Ryan? Obviously players like Elliot and Roberts would be out of the question

Food for thought ...

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Next season's playoff winners :D..... One can only dream :D

.........Belford...........
Hunt......Aldred.......Winnard........Wilson
.........Miller......... Linganzi
Boco.......Hatfield...........Molyneux
...........Jeffers..........

Subs
Bavs
Beattie
Podge
Murphy
Lindfield
Joyce
Liddle

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Think for his first season,Miller did ok and just run out of steam,which happens.Great potential and I hope we re-sign him as I feel he will improve with the experience he has gained.
Wouldn't dismiss Clarke either,as he is young but has something about him.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Smudgie, as much as I like Cameron Belford, I have this distinct impression that Rachubka may just stay with us, and lets not forget , yes he is in the old Bav's mode of giving everyone a heart attack, but equally he has made some important saves for us this season. So maybe the team will be Rachubka and the remainder i.e. this seasons team. On players to keep, I personally wouldn't mind keeping Bohan Dixon, even if it means loaning him out again early doors. I believe he will make a superb centre forward for us one day.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I think Dixon has the makings of a fair un, Reckon he may learn more from Franny n Beattie than out on loan?:);)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Dixon is a young lad with potential but as with Carver needs game time at a decent level.

Hopefully they go on loan to Southport or Altrincham etc and show us what they can do.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Interested to find out how Andy Owens did at southport,liked him a lot,and I think they played him in centre mid and he was comfortable in possession .He may be ready for another crack at league football

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

From a pure selfish point,I hope dean and Aldred continue there partnership next season,despite Tom not having much game time and Dean being injured,they complimented each other.
12 games together resulted in 6 wins,3 draws and 3 losses and gaining 6 clean sheets,this is promotion form!.
With a good pre-season,they will only get better---hope Leam uses his charm !!!

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Have to agree,young Aldred has been a revelation this season in my eyes.:)

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

We agree again,
he was my choice for player of the season.

He has more potential than Dean, its hard to see Dean playing any higher than a midtable league 2 team but Aldred has the potential to keep improving, keep building his confidence and potentially play in a higher division.

Did Romy Boco wave goodbye for the last time today?
What was his body language like?

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Agreed Aldred has been superb !!!

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Successful teams have good partnerships and compliments each other,Aldred is a strong lad who loves to head the ball,Deans a good reader of the game,and when fit,is as quick as anyone.It's a good combination,and there only 22/23 so plenty of time.
For a big lad,Aldred is good with the ball around his feet,and shows good composure.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

He said last night he has to have some discussions so it's up in the air along with many others. I think he's one of those players that probably allows a little bit of emotion decide where he plays rather than just a financial one.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I will be amazed if Rommy isnt at Chesterfield next season.

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

According to there forum,hes yon next week fer talks.:eek:

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

Now there's a surprise !

Re: Contracts /retained for next season.
 

I hope Leam has a look at Josh O'Keefe this summer.young centre mid and at 6-3 is in the Proccy mould.Pretty sure Cooky had a look at him but nothing came of it and he signed for Hereford.
They have just missed out on the play-offs,and despite there problems,has scored 13 goals from centre mid,despite being a holding player!,not easy in the conference.
He came through the Blackburn system and is a local lad,defo worth a look following his exploits this season
