Are you sure he was signed as their number one? I've never heard of him before so just gave him a quick Google. He was third choice at Espanyol and was released on a free. He's played 4 league games in 3 years (0 in the last 2) too. Doesn't sound like a ready-made first choice keeper to me - and with them looking to sign Etheridge too, I'd be even more surprised if he was first choice.
