Obviously had to look at Wiki as I've never heard of him.

44 appearances and 15 goals in six years. That will get the Yams rushing to buy their season tickets.

His Soccerbase page is more accurate:

http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=63703

Loads of sub appearances but goals to starts ratio is good. Might turn out to be a good signing, we'll see - can't see him costing much in wages, so relatively low risk for them.

This is like a signing you make on football manager when youre skint in the hope he comes up to the top level and smashes in 35 goals and you can sell him for £30m....

Oh wait, its Cathro, thats probably his plan...

Good scoring ratio in League 2 though.

Collins and Dagnall score for fun in that league or even league 1. Can't mind what leagues they are in.

19 career goals so far at 23. How many has Jason got at 20?

So something like 168 games and 38 goals over 6 years by the looks of things. The majority of them being as a sub.

To think that some Jambo said that maybe at 23 he's trying to find his feet. So next year he should be able to tie his own laces.

Certainly changed times from the good old days when they didn't pay their bills and were fleecing the charities.

Got this from a Rovers ST holder;

"He is ok for a forward who doesnt score many goals, i am surprised he has ended up in the spl, he has not really played at any decent level.

I can only assume they signed him on the back of his recent decent performances."

And the fact that there's no fee due according to their fans site. They don't seem to be that bothered about losing him and seemingly he was one of their fans scapegoats.

Not much to get excited about here - one good wee bit where one of the Tranmere fans pointed out they have a bigger capacity and better ground than Tynecastle amongst others. They probably don't know they are dealing with the famous here and one of their squads subs have been lucky enough to join the Gorgie galacticos. They should be basking in the glory.

My Tranmere supporting mate also tells he's been with the club since he was 11. And that Tranmere won't get any compensation for him because he's gone to a Scottish club instead of staying in England.

Typical Hearts really. If it's not charities they're stealing from, it's non-league teams.

Just clarifying. He did score something like 8 goals in 10 games but 5 were against Solihull and Dover. Wonder if he was asked to stay at Tranmere or just let go?

A donkey league team? Shouldn't really knock them considering where they've signed their 25 goals a season forward from.

Certainly deluded. Would be funny if they ran out cash and couldn't complete their new stand. Ram your chips.

If the schools are on holiday they could nip him round the training centre before the paying customers roll up in the evening.

Might be able to continue pretending it's theirs if they time it right and don't get kicked out

Yep. Failed to get out of the conference at last stage against Forest Green Rovers.

They're probably looking to replace this guy with the type of player who is good enough to get them out of that level.

This shows the type of player you can attract when you go public about chips being available as part of the modernisation of one quarter of your ground.

A lot of the Yams are hooked. Vardy gets mentioned on too many occasions. It's quite funny that they now need to justify a nobody and pretend they have found a gem. They are now at a level that very few jambos ever thought was possible. Even more telling is that they don't want to criticise the budgie.

If you go shopping in the flea market, you get, well you get fleas. A few more of these and there may well be anarchy down by the greenhoose. Bring it on.

"I'm a big, strong striker but not like a target man. I can do both. I’m very good at holding the ball up, I can bring players into play around the box, and I’m a goalscorer. Goals win games, don’t they? But I can create chances for others.”

I like the bit where he says goals win games.

Not if you score two and the Hibees score two
Or
You score one and the Hibees score three.

Never really watched the leagues that he's accustomed too but I would think that he won't have as much time on the ball up here. Efe or Marv will have him in their back pocket. Guaranteed he won't be another Jamie Vardy either.

Wasn't big or fast enough for Morecambe before they sent him back, I can see the attraction for father dougal though (if he was anything to do with the signing) the boy says goals win games, straight out of the dougal book of football phrases. Goal scorer?

So he's not a target man but then goes on to tell us he's very good at holding the ball up and bringing others into play (exactly like a target man). He's also a goal scorer (he's just not bothered showing anyone yet judging by his record) and he also creates chances for others.. this guy sounds like the most complete forward Scottish football will have ever seen!

I asked my cousin, who is a Tranmere fan about him. this is what he said -

"The current manager brought him back in to the side and he’s scored probably another 16 for Tranmere. Latterly he was the preferred striker/goal poacher. A bit of a bruiser/hardman and opportunist."

Who decided he is the type of player who fits in to their style of play? No debate surely :greengrin
