Will Atkinson

 

[Colchester and proud!]

Probably another Parky recommendation!

Will Atkinson

Have we just registered Leonard again under a different name?

 

[Smiffy]

Who?

Welcome anyhow Will. Best of luck at Southend.

Probably another Parky recommendation!

He is ex-Bradford but he was at Hull from 2006-12, although out on loan EVERYWHERE. So El Tango knows him anyway.

 

[Napster]

Probably another Parky recommendation!

Played under Brown at Hull actually

 

[Beefy]

57 appearances last season for Bradford across a promotion and a run to the League Cup Final. Odd that they haven't kept him on.

EDIT - played the 90 minutes vs Swansea.

Yes and Parky was manager at Hull (For a short time!) with Phil Brown as one of his coaches, so they will know all about Will.

Agrred Beefy. Another decent signing IMHO.

Yes and under Parky at Bradford more recently.

More loans than Wonga.

Welcome aboard Will!

A regular in a successful Bradford City side...sounds like a bit of a coup for us!!

Well, on the positive side he doesn't seem to get injured a lot. Concerned, a little, that he only managed 3 goals in all of those games. That should be enough to convince Ryan to stay! :winking:

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Seems that he had a poor start ot his Bradford career but had a great season last season and played in all their league cup games. Flexible too, like John White. Clearly looking at players who can play in several positions, a reduced squad no doubt. One centre mid away from having a decent midfield.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

I am pleased with that, it's someone that P. Brown know very well, which is good, hopefully he can settle down quickly and do a job for us. Another winger, then we are sorted!

 

[LennySUFC]

Is he a winger or cm?
