He's one that I hoped would sign for town. Good signing that.

Whats Jay Matete's situation. Is he available again?

He’s in the Championship with Sunderland. He won’t be coming here; amazing we got him when we did really.

Think he's only played 10 times since signing so is probably a squad player.
Another loan move maybe, but more likely to a league one club

Just had a look at Matete's Soccerbase page: in the last 2 seasons he's picked up 26 yellows and a red in 74 games  

12 starts and 4 sub appearances since joining them at the end of January, more chance of Fabregas signing!

He got 25 of those yellows and the red with us didnt he

Not fully league 2 related, but Vernam has just signed for Lincoln
