THIS LAD IS A REAL HANDFUL AND A SIGNIFICANT SIGNING FOR HORNETS

 

Jamie Tracey joins the club from Thatto Heath for the 2020 season.

Rochdale Hornets is delighted to announce the signing of Jamie Tracey from Thatto Heath for the 2020 League 1 season.

Tracey joins teammates Andy Lea, Adam Carr and Adam Hesketh from the National Conference League side, having played a part in their successful 2019 Challenge Cup run.

Tracey has also spent time at Leigh Centurions, while representing Great Britain in the amateur game.

"I’m really looking forward to testing myself at the higher level and playing under great coaches," said Tracey. 

"I have some personal goals which will hopefully help the team kick on and progress."

On the latest addition, head coach Matt Calland added: "I am really excited about this signing.

"At 6ft 3 and 17st, Jamie adds real fire power to our pack.

"He runs good lines in attack and hits hard in defence.

"Welcome, Jamie."

England Community Lions forward Jamie Tracy joins the squad from Thatto Heath.  6’3’ and 17 stone too! 
Matt’s building a very interesting new squad mix of upcoming talent with some experienced minders. Let’s hope they gel quickly and continue the club’s very encouraging impetus...starting Sunday!  

According to the club web site we have also signed Kenny Hughes from Thatto.  Perhaps this is the scrum half who has played with Oldham in recent times?

I think he's very lucky to be getting another chance in the semi-pro game.  (if its the same guy).

I have tried to find some mention of this signing on the Hornets website and can find no mention of it.

So not sure were the infomation has come from but does not seem to be true.

Go on the club website and look at the preview for rochdale vs Oldham, under team news you will find it.

It says "The club can confirm the singing of Kenny Hughes for the 2020 league 1 season"

Boro -  I spotted it (and it’s still there as The Lad says, within the match preview of tomorrow’s game under Team News) and, surprisingly, it was not launched on the usual signings on Twitter.

In posting it, I only knew ( and still do) that the player had the same name as a former Oldham regular, but seemed to be on Thatto’s books.

Good player is Kenny Hughes.

I've heard that Kenny has been released after an email was sent to Hornets by his ex.

Might be a good player but not wanted with a history like his. Plenty of other players out there.

I'd be very surprised if that's true. If that is correct, it would suggest Rochdale had no idea who they were signing.

I can only judge him for when he played for Oldham. As for anything else that's his business. Don't do the social media thing, this is as far as it goes for me. 

[Anita Bath 150]

Its not a social media thing.

Social media thing? He battered his partner and was found guilty in court.

Didn't know about that. As I say, as a player, I think he's a good one. Obviously as a person he's obviously something else. 

[glemiln 128]
