Does anybody know how long he has signed for? Doesn't say on the article.


Thought I saw it mentioned somewhere that it was 2 years. No idea of potential options but they’re generally standard for a player around 21 years old.

Comments from his last club suggest he has talent but has an attitude problem.  Heard the same when we signed Jon Nolan.

Hurst obviously likes him and I think dropping to non-league might kick start his career, as has happened to a number of players when they've stepped down to play under Hurst.  

Excited by this one.

Now that seems a bit odd to me, I may well be forgetting someone but the article says "we will be paying a fee" .....jeez, that seems along time ago since that was said of an incoming player.
Times are a changing for sure

Hurst clearly knows and likes him. He appears to have loads of potential but hasn’t quite sparked for him yet. turned down an offer from Scunthorpe too (although they may just have been to get a few quid for him)

Could well turn out to be an excellent bit of business.

Yeah he’s under 24 and they offered him a deal. Hopefully he really shines here.

There are quite a few accusations of him being lazy which is a slight worry, but Hurst seems genuinely thrilled to have him and he doesn't tolerate a lack of effort. Absolutely delighted to be cracking on with doing business like this.

If there's one thing I'm not worried about, it's Hurst signing a player who is allegedly "lazy."

I think being hard-working is probably PH's most prioritised attribute in a player. And he has got rid of some very talented players here in the past who didn't work hard enough.

So, without taking what these (potentially bitter) Scunny fans are saying, if this lad doesn't work hard he won't play under Hurst. So no worries from me.

There is a clip in his interview where he calmly slots the ball in the bottom corner. People often mistake people who are calm and lurk in the box as lazy. Hurst might give someone who is lazy one contract but he won't give him 3.

Signing young players for a fee. Now there's a novelty. We are in danger of resembling a well run club.


Welcome to BP young man.

Interesting to se that PH is getting some signings in early, could be a sign that they were at the top of his shopping list.
