More than happy with this signing, we need more Keighley boys in our club

Happy with that. Looks like a player that gives his all and we need that desperately.
Don’t think he’ll be a starter but adds much needed depth 👍🏼

I am not going to pretend to know anything at all about him really. Not a player I have seen much of or that I can recall seeing much of. If he fits into the style we want, and he wont make the same simple errors that we have been making in defence then he will be decent. If he can help us start to sort out the leaky defence at the back, then he will be a good signing.

Seems to be a solid squad option at the very least, a capable defender of the sort we've been desperate for. Happy with that as a start to the summer.

Solid is a word that's been used both complimentary and somewhat derogatory ?? Centre back is SOLID.. First off there is nothing wrong in that and secondly it's not something we have said since Schindler.. Goals against is the first column we need to change, a lot. Can he play out from the back? Its not something I would associate with this type of centre back. Agreed though, the leaking of goals needed to be sorted. If he stops us leaking like a broken sieve and can pass a ball a few yards to someone else to play out from the back, he will do for me.. I'd like to see much more variation on how we get the ball into the opposition half and that means options further up rather than ball playing centre backs, which even at top level are costing a few goals a season.

Problem is ( like with goalkeepers) the way we play out from the back means that a Centre Half has also got to be good on the ball. Personally, I’d prefer us to have a tough uncompromising player ( like Peter Clarke) but it’s not as easy as that anymore. To be fair, after seeing him play for Halifax, albeit few years ago, I’d would say he is a tough uncompromising player. He definitely loves a tackle! Also saw him playing for Halifax a few years ago. I was shocked when I saw he’d made it into the championship. He must have improved a lot over the years and so will reserve judgment for now. A Halifax mate of mine appreciated his battling qualities.

Appears to be a good first signing. Some Yorkshire Steel in defence.

I’ve tracked this lad’s career ever since I first heard of him yesterday evening. Delighted the deal is done.

He is straight into the first team, we need a few hard working no messing defenders.
A good solid signing of championship quality.
Good start.

I’m not interested in what they have done at previous clubs, I’m only interested in what they do in a town shirt.

If he turns out consistent and durable so you know what you're gettin week in week out, a sort of cut price Schindler, then he will do. It's something to build on.

Don’t think he’ll be a starter but adds much needed depth 👍🏼 I think you may be disappointed then, he's played virtually the whole season in a team that's finished way above us, the team with the worst defensive record in the league, but you don't think he'll be a starter? Surely, as it currently is, he'd walk into our team? Do you think we'll sign 2 more CBs?

He played for luton who do like to play on the deck so can't be too bad with ball at his feet. he just needs options to pass to some movement would help.

So his main attribute is that he’s from Keighley and is 6ft 3 , wank signing, but of course good luck to him I’m sure he will give 100% like all fellow Yorkshireman do for the club but if he isn’t technically any good then that’s ok because he’s from keighley ?

Looking at his highlights reel, his cross field passing appears to be better than Sarr's

The Luton Town fans comments are very interesting. They don't seem upset to see him go because they think they will get someone better next season. He was pretty much ever present for them. They ended up 8 places above us having scored 9 less goals. The reason being they conceded 19 less than us. They say you learn more from your failures than successes, and we learned a leaky defence is a huge problem. It may be the style they play puts their defence under less pressure and they will get a better footballing centre half and be fine. I am very pleased to have a solid, no nonsense defender though. Time will tell.

One man doesn't make a defence but he played in one that finished with a goal difference roughly twice better than ours last season. If we signed Van Dijk some on here would have a pop.

Far from convinced going by the comments from the Luton fans but its got to be an upgrade on 3 centre halves who hardly played last season and 2 who were accidents waiting to happen Having read some of the comments on here anything on the Luton site can be......taken with a pinch of salt

A solid start, better than what we had so how anyone can whinge is beyond me.
If we improve on all of the positions we say then we should be in for a better season.

The best teams always have leaders across most positions. We've had Hogg and schindler for a number of years.
Much better team with more leaders.
Excellent start.

Not the best ability wise but a hard as fuck centre back that will give his all is exactly what we need because we are soft as shite

As long as he’s better than Sarr, and can fit the Carlos model of playing out from the back he’ll do for me.
