He became a free agent when he was released by Barrow so is available for us to sign after the transfer deadline Quote I'm sure I'll think of something funny to say soon.

Our Twitter feed today talked about "sneaking a signing in before the deadline", presumably we completed this on Friday but only announced it today?

Will was always very popular in his spell at Fev. Probably not got many years left now but a thumbs up from me if true. Who can forget his 3 golden game-deciding moments...the crucial last- minute try v Sheffield to secure a 4th league leaders shield in a row, the amazing after-the-hooter try against Batley, and of course that wonderful moment when he hoofed the ball dead at the Shay when he looked set to score for Fax and deprive us of a top 4 place ... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he signed (or more correctly was registered) after close of business on 9th August he cannot play for us this season. If, however, the tweet referred to above is correct and he signed before that (but it wasn't announced until today) then he can play.

POR 437 Report post Posted August 12, 2019 he's signed a short term contract so obviously he can play if he couldn't play would have thought he would have signed a contract for next year like whylie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cardypaul 289 Report post Posted August 12, 2019 To be fair it gives the club chance to look at him and for him to try and earn a contract for next season. Could be win win situation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Phantom Horseman 1,804 Report post Posted August 18, 2019 Journalist Gary Carter is reporting that Salford are in for Jack Ormondroyd for next season. Interesting that someone who can't get in our 19-man squad at the moment might be heading to a top 5 SL club next year. Think jack has been unlucky not to get more game time lately but equally there's not much between most of our forwards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Private Baldrick 1,933 Report post Posted August 22, 2019 We still should be running a reserve team Perhaps it might have been the case that we approached the RFL with our plans and were told we would not be accepted, so decided not to pursue it?
