From Corby. Exciting talent. Very good signing.

If there's one outfield position I'd have said we didn't need strengthening it would be central midfield, so this seems a strange one unless somebody is injured and/or leaving.
Either way, happy to have someone on board if they've got excellent potential. He's certainly appropriately named!

More attack minded than what we currently have.

Apparently played on the right for Corby.

The OS describes him as a forward player. I asked a Corby fan what position he played in and he said central midfield.
We've also signed Goalkeeper Adam North on a work experience loan from the Cobblers.

Watched him last week at St Neots, unless the central midfield stretched out very wide he didn’t play there. He looked decent from the one time I’ve seen him.

He's a winger, played at Chenecks before Corby.
Good player, good signing.

Thought he was excellent when he came on yesterday. His pace gave them problems and his movement off the ball was something that we have generally not seen enough of from our players.

And scored against us when we beat the 2-1 at their place. I remember he looked decent and took his header well.
