49 appearances in 8 years of football. I’m sensing a hidden gem.
Good luck to the fella, welcome to the City Jack!

Cardiff City FC can confirm that Jack Simpson has joined the Club from Rangers for an undisclosed fee, subject to clearance.
The 25-year-old has signed a deal with the Bluebirds which will keep him at Cardiff City Stadium until the summer of 2024.
A defender, Simpson came through the youth ranks with AFC Bournemouth, who he joined at the age of 12. He made his senior debut for the Cherries in October 2017.
In total, Jack made 35 appearances for Bournemouth, including 11 Premier League outings, before moving to UEFA Europa League runners-up Rangers in January 2021.
Capable of playing in a range of defensive roles, he appeared for the Gers on 14 occasions, and now returns to the EFL with the Bluebirds.
Speaking at CCS on Tuesday evening after signing his agreement, Jack said: "I'm very excited to join the Club. I spoke to the manager about what he's trying to do here.
"I'm a ball playing centre half, and hopefully that'll suit the way the team are playing now.
"I'm excited to be here. I want to help the team and play in as many games as possible."
City boss Steve Morison added: "Jack's going to bring balance for us in defence.
"He is a fantastic player, with a beautiful left foot. He is someone who wanted to come and be part of it. Jack's here with a smile on his face, and ready to get to work.
"He's an excellent addition to the group."

Nelson or McGuiness must be on their way then.
we almost signed him a few years ago didn't we?
We needed this, sounds about right a left sided centre back.
Bugger I wanted a winger
Denham out on loan I’d have thought then.
Just what we need
Rangers fans are absolutely delighted and cant believe theyve got a fee.
I hope Denham, King, Colwill etc all get loan moves and come back when Morison is gone. This is a ridiculous situation. We have 28(?) first team players.
Nearly 26 and almost as inexperienced as someone like Denham. Bizarre.

Simpson eh?
A lot of Rangers fans saying he was dreadful/atrocious.
