Batch Delighted With Rhodes Capture

 

Canvey Island Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of experienced winger Alex Rhodes.

 

Rhodes, 28, agreed terms with The Gulls on Thursday evening after recently being on trial with npower Football League 2 side Hereford United.

 

The pacey left-winger began his professional career at Brentford. A short loan spell at Swindon followed before a permanent move to Bradford City in 2007, where he scored three times in eleven starts.

 

Rhodes more recently had a short spell with N Power League 2 new boys Oxford United before finishing the 09/10 season with Grays Athletic in the Blue Square Premier.

 

Canvey Manager John Batch said "I have been after Alex for a few weeks now after his impressive performance during pre season. A number of clubs have spoken to Alex but he shook hands with me and said if his trial at Hereford didn’t work out that he would put pen to paper on a deal at The Brockwell Stadium. Alex will give us excellent pace and quality from wide areas and im sure he will be a superb addition to the squad."

I hope this means we'll be sticking with 4-4-2 with Rhodes and Isa on the wings now.

Speaking of coming back from injury, both Danny C and Danny K can play wide left too.

Any idea when Kerrigan and Danny Curran are due to return from injury? Would be great to see both of them back playing again.
