Decent signing. Proven at this level (7 goals for Cambridge in their 2024/25 relegation season and 4 in 20 for Stockport last season) and fills a need at CAM.

Looks to have been a regular starter for Stockport in the second half of last season.

Looking at his profile, this seems like the exact sort of signing we should be making.

So of course he's gonna end up being shite for us.

Highly regarded by brizzle fans from what I can tell.

Should be a very good signing. Told he’s a similar type player to John swift

2 apps for City inn2 seasons in the league cup only. Will be an undisclosed fee as contracted at City until 2027 (unless another loan). Joined City from Aldersh*t so knows the area though born in Suffolk.

Rather have Doris.

Yeah he didn't seem to quite break through at City but his League One loans point to this being a good signing.
Sounds like a perm not a loan.

Looks like a logical replacement for K Doyle

Saw him play for Aldershot (I know apologies!) a couple of times when he linked up with Tolaj - in retrospect what a strikeforce that was for non league!). Him and Tolaj were absolute stand outs and you could tell he was destined for better things

I'd say he was more of a mix of Kevin Doyle and John Swift - he put himself about and is terrier like in chasing balls - but also can spot a clever pass and is composed in front of goal. He got a lot of yellow cards iirc. Not so good in the air but you dont look for that in a CAM

I remember thinking I wish reading has been in a position to sign both of them (obviously this was when we were under embargo) as they were local and clearly would be able to operate at a higher level.

He would be an excellent signing
