E-mailed a couple of people at Crusaders about the man himself and got the following responses:
John Smedley - Stephane played a couple of pre-season friendlies for us two seasons ago - but he was never a signed player of Crusaders.
Norman Coleman - Sorry but no information is available as he only joined Crusaders as a trialist and played two part games(friendlies) against Dundalk and Drogheda. Suggest you try Dundalk they might be able to help.
So make what you will of that. Apparently he's a centre-half who's had spells with Dundalk and Home Farm anyway.

i was reading the ehco it says the following
age 30
is going to still live in dublin and travel down whenever there is a match(dont know about that)
can play full back or centre half
he had no club last year :confused:
played with shels for a bit aswell
bottom line if he was any good he would not be without a club last year

Sounds like a stop-gap measure just in case of injries etc. In that context probably makes sense to sign him - we don't know why he didn't have a club last year so can't automatically assume he is crap.

and if you were at the game Sat. like I was then you would know why he didn't have a club last season.
