I still can't work out why Notts paid a fee for him, their fans seemed to rate him (as we did) and then released him.
He wasn't ready for L2 when we signed him. We've basically nursed him through an apprenticeship for two years, watched him fill out to be rugged enough for this league, signed on paper a couple of players who should be playing L1 football and got rid of him to free up budget.
He is unproven, Ardley is very good at spotting players and never played him much so maybe Notts, Chester and Fylde fans are wrong, but I think Hartlepool have signed him at the right time to get any potential he has out of him.
