    Hughes makes a point of mentioning he’s comfortable on the ball. Welcome to the club, Matthew.

    Very good ball playing centre half. He was in the Blackburn side that won the Premier League 2 championship for the U23’s. The added league experience will have brought him on. He’s strong in the air too.

    Played centre back with Niall Canavan. I’m surprised Canavan didn’t try to put him off signing for us.

    Should be a good addition. Hope PO’C stays though.

    City signing players in May?
    What happened to the "sign what's left on deadline day" strategy ?

    Reading up on him this morning, he sounds very promising. Right sided CB, good in the air, decent with his feet. Barrow fans all seem to compliment his character and he's an old fashioned pro. Seemingly was between us and Bolton according to their fans.

    With all due respect what a daft comment. No doubt he will have spoken to Canavan as he is a Bradford lad. Finally a replacement for Canavan (4 months late). Welcome Matthew.

    Canavan had a problem with Adams. Not the players, fans or club. He probably sold it to him if asked.

    Welcome to the club, Matthew. Sounds like the kind of defender we've lacked for a while and one that Hughes believes is a decent passer as well.

    A good two year's experience at this level and young enough to improve and get better. Sounds like a great signing.

    Had a read up on him and Barrow fans all sad to see him go. Sounds like he was liked and well respected there.

    Comment from a Barrow fan especially for @Fordy117@Fordy117
    Massive club chasing promotion, proper training ground and more money. No brainier. Good luck to the lad

    Aye, the gist seems to be that he was a very good player for them, for the most part, and that they'd expected him to move into League 1 at least. Sounds like a good one, and likely a replacement for Paudie

    So far we have signed a Barrow reject, a Forest Green bench warmer, and a goalkeeper who has played no meaningful football in 5 years.

    On paper this looks shite. But then again, we are bottom half League 2 fettle.

    Let's hope Hughes knows what he's doing.
