That was a prediction of mine a week or so back!

Very pleased with that signing. He showed good pace and will compliment Matty.

Well done, Paul Lamb.

Predictable but an excellent signing none the less. I have been told he played for K#ttering U18 last season?

Great signing, just what we needed and his genuine pace will be crucial in the big games next season against the other title challengers.

And good shout from Trek 8 days ago!

Really happy with that, looked a good player against us last season - couldn't believe it when I saw he is only 18.

Yes, that was the bit that surprised me.

Glen's lad. Good to have you back and welcome young Johno

not sure i agree with this signing....dosent show much faith in the lads from our own u18/u21s....ive watched most of these games and I would have thought our own matty smith would have been able to fill this space awesome speed,not afraid to have a go and can find the back of the net.... (only my opinion)

Take your point Dunc, but this lad we've signed has already shown he can 'cut the mustard' at UCL Prem level, infact he also made two cameo performances for Corby Town at Step 3 last season.

sorry I don't think you got my point....I have no problems with the player,as a matter of fact im over the moon with having him on board but my point is we still have lingy in the squad so matty was at least worth a shot ......you never know "he may have shown some mustard ;) ;) ) I thought that was the idea of the club or else whats the point of a youth set up,,,,,,,,,(i await the fallout of my comment ;) ;) )
