"He's probably a little different to Mattie and Luke at the back. He's quick and athletic and hopefully he brings that competition and he's keen to get involved. He's very much a centre half, that's his best position. He broke through at Bristol Rovers and his manager there took him to Mansfield and obviously a change of manager has meant he hasn't been able to force himself into the team there, but that's to our benefit".
"One of his biggest assets is his mobility and how he moves. Just in training this morning, you can see he wants to get tight to people, he's aggressive in his defending and I think we need that, as I said we have got 20 odd games to go and we want players who are committed, he is up for the challenge and I really like that about him. Once the interest was there, he was just saying he wants to be involved and that is the attitude you want from people".
I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

I think it's been well observed on here that Pollock and Waterfall are too alike and lack pace, so going on nothing more than that description, he sounds like he will give us a dimension at the back that we are very much missing.
Mansfield and Bristol Rovers fans seem to rate him. League 1 & 2 experience. We've been crying for a natural CB with some pace to him so hopefully he slots straight in and won't take long to adapt as he knows this league. Good luck to the lad and UTFM
