Patrick Watling signs. OFFICIAL

[jas]

@Doom will be pleased to hear that we wouldn't have been able to sign him without (listening to Fox's interview) the one year Uni deal that's in place

I'm glad somebody can remember my posts.

This signing today is exactly the sort of player we should be trying to attract with the Uni course, not some broken has been netminder.

I think it's one of the reasons Belfast have had an edge and also why Coventry were able to dominate against the arena clubs.

Of course we need to make sure guys aren't just here for their education package, but that's up to the coach to get the right characters.

I've just read the following in The Star:

Smith says they landed him chiefly because of the new deal they have with Hallam.

"We worked hard in the Summer to do what Belfast has done to get these places available, and we don't actually need all the places Hallam offered this year.

"We have got two places at Sheffield and four with Hallam, so we were very pleased with that."

Another University place awaits another potential top-line import forward, who is considering his options on whether to accept or not.

It sounds promising.

Regards

Doom

Fingers crossed for another top line import forward then who can raise the standard even more. Feeling more excited with this news
