Good, felt a bit sorry for him when he got injured and we pulled out of the deal.

Never seen him play, but hope he's good enough - I know a few were impressed with him in pre season?

Looked decent at Shildon. Not sure if he played any more games after that?

An extra CB should hopefully mean we can get Galbraith back to LB too, which will help the team out massively

Definitely - we now have Brown, Heaton, Collins, Burgess and Vaulks at centre back - hopefully we can fuck Burgess of and get Brown and Collins properly fit, then there's plenty of competition.

I was 100% certain i would be opening up a picture of Heaton Removals or some such. Hope he has a successful stay.

Watched him play at Shildon looked alright, lot of people were impressed with his performance, I remember a tasty tackle he put in on one of there lads, if it had not been a friendly he would of probably been sent off, so for a young lad he not afraid to get stuck in and he's also got a bit of pace.
Welcome to the club.

From what I saw during pre-season he will be a good signing, and probably at a cut-price of what we would have paid Bamber Bridge during the summer too.

I also saw him play at Shildon and he was our most impressive player, not that anybody else put in much of an effort or performance that day. Excellent signing and he'll slot is straight away with either Brown or Collins, depending who is fit.

From what I recall at the Shildon he was a big tall lad who attacked set pieces and was strong in the air.

I don't think he was on a contract at Bamber or there was a clause which meant we could get him for nothing. Bamber programme said words along lines of "some Brig fans will be thinking what goes around comes arouns" when discussing Gray's move to York.

He was contracted to Bamber Bridge and we did have to agree a fee over the summer to bring him in.

Ah well Bamber seemed to think we just 'took' him.

There's an article which says a fee and preseason friendly was arranged however the deal broke down as personal terms couldn't be reached.

Seems a very personable young lad, with plenty of ambition.

We made him an offer in pre-season but he chose not to sign it before the friendly in which he was injured.
