Just to quash any unnecessary rumours, Fergus has trained hard, and was a fantastic professional whilst with us, he's opted to move back closer to home for personal reasons. He never missed a training session and committed to the cause by moving to Cumbria, he has been a model professional and is well thought of and will always be welcome at WTRLFC. 

We wish him all the best for the future.

Looked a really useful player for us pre season but never got a look in when the season kicked off. Hope he goes well for you and we see you back in the championship

Very shrewd signing. A championship player who knows the area. Well done all at town for securing his signature.

Solid signing for Town, putting together some good league 1 players. Taylor perhaps past his best for champ level but solid enough for league 1

[Unicorn 106]

Well done Town, another experienced player .

Every jambo I've spoken to says the same, they might as well have said if he wears chocolate he's good but if he wears blue and white he's not so good

It's not that much of a dig, more just opinion. Taylor is a solid signing, he's a bit like Mossop in that he's better in defence rather than attack, and given his number of shoulder surgeries he's had and the amount of time he's been on the sideline, I'd say champ 1 is where he's at in his career. Been a great servant for Haven though.

I'm not knocking the signing but i hope they've got some experience lined up and not Forber and Mossop. The likes of Sykes and Forster did us everytime last year.  Easier said than done i know.

That's the difficult bit though isn't it? It's all well and good getting an experienced player in but it's got to be the right one,  those palyers that can change a game and lead the team around the pitch will be on everyone's shopping list.

I remember the difference Holty made when he arrived. His kicking game alone transformed the team. The length of the field drop out against the Jam will never be forgotten.

Taylor is as experienced as you get, ecclestone has 5 or 6 years behind him too so not a newcomer.

Alongside Jordan burns thats a decemt spread in the back line.

Jordan Thomsons pretty much the only experience in the pack though, that's where we need to build. Along with a good half back to play alongside Ciaran, though it has to be the right kind of half to compliment him as he's the type of player we need to build around.

I nearly wrote him in but he's not been officially added to the squad as far as I can see.

Some good experienced players coming in to the squad that will make a big difference in the team, and the younger players will learn a lot from these guys, Muza doing a great job so far in recruitment.
