Played under Richardson at Wigan so a believable rumour.

[Sutekh]

Rather have Micky Pearce.

Yes would make sense

[WestYorksRoyal]

Looks like he's only had one season playing semi regularly (and even that was <30 league appearances). Plus he hasn't played since August. So definitely question marks.

[Millsy]

If the news ain't from The Brogue, I ain't listening.

[MR. CYNICAL]

Got to be asked. Why is he a free agent?

He left Montreal to pursue opportunities back in England.

Most comments from Wigan fans are telling him to come back, so he obviously did a decent job there.

Was going to suggest that he's probably from up North having played for Leeds and Wigan! which sometimes has a bearing on preferred destinations. Then read that he has worked under Leam Richardson previously and i guess that now levels the playing field! can see this one happening

Reported as 4 clubs after him: Reading, Barnsley, Shrewsbury Town and Chesterfield. He’s also played under Chesterfield’s manager before so who knows where he’ll end up.

[The Royal Forester]

If he signs will he bring Uncle Tom Cobley Bill Brewer Jan Stewer etc. with him?

[Brogue]

looks like he's off to chesterfield to link up with his former manager paul cook

No surprise really - he left Montreal to come back to the UK and Chesterfield is the furthest south he will ever have played in England I believe. So old manager and probably gets to live near friends/family.

I heard he hadn’t actually been to Valley Parade so was a no for me anyway.

I'm naturally assuming LR will be taking that into consideration as regards any potential signings.

Perhaps, perhaps not... we've already played there this season so a 6-month loan player won't require this criteria to be met. Similarly, if we are aiming for promotion then when is the next time we'll be back at Valley Parade?

Sod's Law says that's bound to happen doesn't it?
