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?
