not sure how much he'll feature but cant really turn down a lad who scores a hattrick in his trial.

I reckon he'll be alright. Does anyone know if he is finish his degree now or is he still studying?

Always wondered where he went to after Leicester...

Its pretty much like a 6 month trial. He is not coming from very high standard but we have been surprised before. I doubt Rico would have signed him for the sake of it so will be interesting to see if he spends most of his time with the U21 or senior squad...
