They will indeed. Stephen McLaughlins old club Clonmany Shamrocks are due a healthy 5-10k from his move to Nottm forest even though Harps had already paid a sign-on fee for him when he signed for Derry.Quote:

Anton Rodgers accused.

U19 Frankie Sutherland on the bench for Portsmouth today
A bit unexpected: Dougie Freeman is looking to sign Leicester defender Cian Bolger, who's been in and out of the team while on loan at League 2 Bristol Rovers.

The doc will be thrilled.
In all fairness, it was mostly down to cruciate ligament damage that caused the 'out' part...Quote:

He clocked up 39 league appearances last season at the age of 19/20. Not too shabby. I was surprised he went back to League 2 this season. I would have thought a step up to League 1 would have been in order. Still though, he's likely to be signing a contract of a decent length at Bolton, which offers more security and less immediate pressure to a young centre-half.
Makes you think though; Bolton released Mark Connolly having splashed £1million on him and, rather than persevering with him and making that investment provide a return, they pick up a player in a similar position of a similar age profile 6 months later. Reports on Connolly at Crawley have been fairly positive.
I guess prematurely releasing young talent has been a feature of football for a long time, particularly in these climates. Tom Ince and Jordan Rhodes commanding fees of around £8million having been deemed unworthy of places at their respective clubs 2 years previously epitomize this.
