Yes, predominantly, although he can also play as a central or attacking midfielder.

On the face of it that looks to be a really good signing.

Never seen the boy play but seems to be highly rated. Talk of him being irelands star of the future? Certainly coming to us fires him in the shop window. I’d imagine we are paying him a wedge right enough.

[Mad Dog]

Rumours that the move was held up by a compensation dispute between Wolves and Tondela.

[Happyhonest]

Probably not but does the “ …early morning addition.” Mean there might be a latter in the day one too?

 

looks a good addition to the team and allow a bit of rotation.  Welcome to the Well.  Shooty in for team against stenny. Now about that attack…?

I wonder if A.Trialist cut the mustard yesterday? Can't find any highlights yet.

I hope there is an attacking good old fashioned number 9 striker incoming as well, thats our main priority.

Was the trialist not an Airdrie U19 player?

Looks a potentially really good signing, welcome to the club Joe.

Now lets get a striker in please

Allegedly Guy Bainbridge from Airdrie u19's. Listed as a "prolific goalscorer".

Not sure we would put all our eggs in that basket, but it would be good to have another young local lad in the squad that could do a job.

Im guessing our academy is also light up top if qr have brought him in for a look.

Can never have enough Joe's at Fir Park! 😉😉😉

Seems to have decent pedigree and very much in line with our current recruitment policy.

That will put the Brad Spencer chat to bed I would presume.....
