New Signing: Reiss Noel

[Boot CleanerEFM]

St Albans City manager Ritchie Hanlon has completed the signing of 18 year-old defender Reiss Noel following his release from Southend United. Reiss (pictured) is a victim of the current financial constraints at United following their relegation, and Ritchie Hanlon moved swiftly to secure his signature following conversations with his ex-team mate,Steve Tilson, who is in charge at Roots Hall.

Is that pronounced 'Reece' or 'Rice' I wonder?

 

Should test the nickname creators among you.

Dead easy, Rob:

 

Reiss "The-e-e-e fir-r-rst" Noel.

 

An ex-shrimper. Now that is kwality.

I trust he will be much better and stay longer than the last 'ex-shrimper' we signed - A certain Mr Kurt Husnu I seem to remember !

Firstly Kurt Husnu wasn't 'signed' in the true sense of the word. I prefer the espression 'given an extended trial', and after 45 minutes, he was found wanting. I'm not sure that he was actually an ex-shrimper anyway. I'm not sure that the Declan Perkins who wore the yeller & blue in the Castle era is the same Declan Perkins who graced the hallowed turf at Roots Hall on a couple of occasions in any event.

 

Now Mark 'Beardo' Beard is an ex-shrimper in the true sense of the word. and Reiss 'The First' Noel had a good 'un yesterday, I hear.

 

And I also hear that a real cult hero from The Blue Boys was at Kettering yesterday watching from the side-lines. If he is seriously on Ri(t)chie's radar, you will see some real kwality.

Not sure where you heard that but I would say he had a so so game. Best players on view yesterday were Elphick, Lopez and Beard. Only my opinion of course.

[Hatboy]

Lopez played ! I thought i'd read somewhere that he was out injured, now that is 1 player i hope we keep hold of.

He also nailed our 4th penalty against Hemel. Beautifully struck to the keeper's left. It hit the top of the stanchion so hard it came back out about 20 yards.

 

I know who I'd like to see taking our penalties next season.
