33 year old striker/winger. Played with Clarke at Hartlepool.

I must admit, I don't know a lot about him even though he has a wealth of football league expereince...
What sort of winger is he? His Wikipedia page says he is 6'2" so I can't see him being paticuarly quick and when he plays up front I am guessing his more of a target man? (Harrold replacement?)

I am very happy with this signing personally. Brings vast experience to what is a fairly young Rovers side and alongside Mildenhall would be a good role model for the rest.

6"2. Not fast? How tall is Usain Bolt, Linford Christie, the BFG? So only short people are quick? Andy Bond. Does be need to be quick? Darren Anderton, Jeff Hughes. Does he need to be short? Peter Crouch, Ibrahimavich.
Welcome to the old lanky slow bugger.

Very happy with this. Couple more signings of this ilk and I might actually start to not dread Aug 9th.

Not a player I expected to be in the Conference this season, so feels like a bit of a coup to me that we got him.
Most Hartlepool fans seem very complimentary of him, and he sounds as if he'll add the creativity and goals to our midfield that didn't seem to be there before his signing.
Experienced, versatile, tall, creative, scores goals. Apart from last season when he only played 17 games, he's played 30/40+ in the 5 seasons before that.

Decent mixture of ability and (much needed) experience. A good signing on paper.
More of the same please Darrell!

Wiki is lying about him only playing 17 games in 2013/14. According to Soccerbase... 2013-14 - 41 appearances, 6 goals 2012-13 - 36 appearances, 7 goals 2011-12 - 48 appearances, 3 goals 2010-11 - 53 appearances, 8 goals Very nice to have a player who will (hopefully) put in 40 odd games this season, we need players like that if we're to succeed with a squad of our size.
