    They are, but still and all, to jump a couple of thousand miles like that to a second division side in a league which has serious problems (fans were banned for almost a decade after the Port Said riots right up until last year) is...an adventure, let's say.

    Though I guess he was working on it in the background while at Harps, hence agreeing to terminate his contract and finding a new club so quickly (which I guess is what's most random - yet probably isn't)

    His family are Egyptian, and he probably fancies a nice bit of Winter sun 🌞 . Yoyo had one brilliant season when him and Collie shot the lights out in Div 1, but outside of that season he was always inconsistent. He was never the hardest worker or the fittest player on the park, and easy to see how he wasn't for Duffer at Shels on that basis, and Harps never likely to suit his game at all. Best of luck to him, nice lad by all accounts

    Yoyo is a decent player he got unlucky with a mid season injury at Shels. His sudden move from Shels to Harps was really odd, after the end of the 2021 season he had been announced as re-signed for 2022, he was then the only men's first team player in Umbro's photoshoots for the new Shels kit and then a couple of weeks later he randomly signed for Harps

    Aymen Ben Mohammed made a similar move a few years ago too, back to his parents homeland I believe. He was a devout Muslim and I think moving back to a muslim country had a big draw for him. Maybe the same applies for Yoyo.

    He's at Le Havre in France, but missed the last year or so after a second cruciate knee injury in six years.

    He had been sent out on loan before that (to Turkey) so not sure if he has a future in France.

    Really bad injury timing as he was an international regular but it's hard to see him making the World Cup squad now

    Pretty sure he was told, mid-way through Shels pre-season, by Duff, that he wasn't wanted and to find a new club.

    Never really looked interested at Harps. Has undoubtedly got technical ability, but work rate really let's him down.

    He worked hard for Shels in his limited games despite being played out of position and the fans liked him too, aside from Boyd we haven't had anyone else up front this season Yoyo would have been a better fit for Duff's system must have been some issue in pre-season or a personality clash that he followed Duff's advise to go and walk away from his contract

    Yoyo got a 3 year contract so hopefully he can make an impact over there and does well for himself…

    According to our forum, Mark Russell has lasted just a month at GUFC and is now signing for Portadown in the IL.... a very strange one.

    They must be offering 52 week contracts up north now aswell

    Portadown could have offered him a more friendly deal allowing him to still live in Scotland and fly in for games/limited training sessions which some UK players have had with IL and LOI teams over the years

    Would be somewhat surprised if they are offering 52 week contracts, but never know.

    Suppose it's easier to get back home from Portadown than Galway, if that matters to the lad. Or maybe Paul Doolin talks a good game?

    That was a píss take, some nutter Harps fan wanted to make himself feel better about Russell signing for us over them, so he invented that we offered Russell a 52 week contract on huge money, which of course is utter nonsense. The fella has left us after a month and signed for a PT relegation favourite in the Irish League apparently.
