Greg Halford - Signing confirmed

[jon1959]

He can play anywhere and NW speaks very highly of him. He doesn't trust Richards to stay fit, and with him on the bench if there are any injuries, he can slot in easily in any position. Halford isn't going to be a first team regular but Warnock has spoken about how unbalanced the squad is and how he wanted a utility player. I think we'll see a few types of signings to address this the squad balance with a bigger shake up in the summer.

Halford's had his own problems with injuries in recent years.

However, as a low cost utility player on an 18 month contract and (I assume) trusted by the manager to be a leader on the pitch and a positive voice in the dressing room, it isn't a risky signing and could turn out to be very astute.

He's only got a year left on his contract and if Rotherham can afford his wages, I doubt he's breaking the bank here. I think he's a nice option to have on the bench and is pretty risk free, as you say. He's mainly played as a centre half for Rotherham so he might be Manga's replacement. Let's face it, we don't need Manga, Bamba, Morrison and Connolly, and we really can't afford to keep all 4.

Any good at the old bicycle kick?
