30th August: One In One Out
Today seen quite a bit of transfer activity at Gretsy Road. Incoming was highly rated Irishman Stephen Ward on loan from Wolves and outgoing was Veteran defender Neil Cox who went to Stockport for £1k.
At a press conference confirming the 2 transfers Smith had to say
"Ward is an excellent signing for us. I mainly plan to play him upfront, but his ability to play on the left will also be valuable. Hopefully if he performs, the transfer can be made permanant. As for the big man, he wanted first team football, so it was a good move for him. I wish Neil all the best." 31st August: So Close Yet So Far
