The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Apparantly we're signing him on loan from Kidderminster. He's a defender.

Stuart

any good? :?

hasnt done much tbh

He's a big (194cm) strong young defender who played for Forest Green last year
he's apparently no better than what we've already got according to Football Manager 2011 :P
but physically he is what we need at the back, lets see if it actually happens

played 23times for forest green last year apprently scored 1 goal
signed for newport county and didnt play :?
then kiddy signed him up
hes played 9 times this season.
sounds amazing! :?

Erm, Mark Byrne is a midfielder, Oliver Thorne is a defender. :?

I don't recall ever seeing Thorne play, but a 6'4" defender sounds exactly like the sort of player we need.

Wasn't he in our youth team?

p.s O'Connor was signed from Mansfield. Stuart from Grays. Downer from Grays. I'd rather see a player play before i dismiss him.

Not that I'm aware of. Soccerbase claims he started out at the franchise.
