Has just signed for Scunthorpe. I liked him when here, not sure whether he would have fit what we're trying to do currently but I wouldn't have considered him an awful signing. A little surprised he's ended up down the road though. With the position Scunny seem to be in overall it doesn't strike me as a shrewd move for the player.

Hasn’t played a game since April last year. He’s damaged goods.

Another one doing the Grimsby/Lincoln/Scunny hat trick.

With his injury struggles I imagine his choices were limited so it's probably not a bad deal for him since they'll play him if fit. He needs a way back in after injuries and getting released.

Was bang average when we had him. Did have a talent for well timed runs into the box though.

Was a serial sicknote when he was here, he's completely copulated now.

Didn't rate him really at all. Very limited and slow on the ball, nearly always needing an extra touch to get it under control and never seeming comfortable in possession. Got in to good goal scoring records but would be very disappointed if our midfielders this season weren't a significant upgrade on him.

He was more than a bit meh! for me.

Wasn't bothered when he left and was surprised FGR signed him.

The phrase 'flattering to deceive' springs to mind.

My Lincoln mates said he was the better of all the recent ex-Imps we have had (this was last year - not 22/23 Waterfall) - Green, Waterfall, Whitehouse, etc when we seemed to go through a phase of getting them.

When fit, he was a good, if unspectacular CM. I watched him, when (I may be wrong) had Glennon and I saw Whitehouse lose the ball about 7 times in 10 mins at home, while Glennon was constantly trying to win it and progress!

If he can stay injury-free, a good signing for Scunny.

I would like Scunny to stay in the National League, and not drop into obscurity, as Boston could do with a nice local win when they go up next season!

He was good at Lincoln, it was a bit of a coup at the time because Lincoln had offered him a new deal after winning promotion and I remember people being happy about it. Then he ruptured his ACL in pre season and was out for a whole season, was never the same when he came back and seems like at FGR he's had more injury issues probably related to the bad injury he got in that pre season.

Purely on his ability and attributes, I think he's actually a very decent signing at that level.  Definitely above what Scunny seem to have at present.

However there's a huge issue with his fitness.  Is that his third serious long term injury?  Sure he had one at Lincoln, then one with us and then the one with FGR.

I liked him here when he got going in that second season.  Towards the end of the curtailed season under Holloway he looked to be nearing his best and was getting in and around the frontmen to good effect.
