    Signs to the end of the season. Has good experience. Goes back to Bradford and makes the number one spot there his own. All if Hornby stays fit, hopefully!

    No need to spend loads on a back up keeper. Sensible decision.

    Showing the fruits of getting our recruitment preparations sorted early.

    Hoping he gets a game and puts in an outstanding performance.
    Be amusing to read many of the posters on this thread back tracking.

    I suppose if he’s single and stuck in lockdown the wrist injury is understandable

    Not getting a game, as a keeper, doesn't necessarily mean you're no good. Managers are understandably reluctant to drop keepers if they're doing ok, or to rotate them. So there are a lot of pretty decent keepers sitting on subs benches, all over the country, not getting game time.

    Seems like a nice guy. A better interviewee than the usual cliche-ridden drivellers.

    Likely that he won't even get a game so can't say I'm too bothered who we signed to fill the position.

    Actually has decent pedigree to be fair. Although never heard of him and never made a league appearance

    It's a stop gap signing which needed to be made quickly and cheaply
    Nothing to see here

    To be fair he was Leeds 2nd choice for a while so they trusted him to be on the bench Clean sheet in his only appearance for them.

    I doubt Goalkeeping additions were even on the agenda till ROD got injured so the fact we have moved speedily to put backup in place should be applauded.
    Recruitment of the original targeted positions would surely be higher on City's priorities regardless.
    We all know the recruitment team are under pressure to deliver in this window after all we are far from safe numerically.

    Exactly until RODs injury diagnosis we had two keepers.
    Events forced the club's hand at a crucial time of recruitment.
    Why would they bring someone else in on good money just to make up numbers on the bench and more to the point which experienced keeper would settle for being number 2 unless they were mercenary of course.

    If it was a wrist injury that held him back at Leeds get him a girlfriend, quick.
