Three Set for Debuts at Hillsborough Friday, 1st Feb 2008 13:30
Boss Jim Magilton could give debuts to three of his January signings when the Blues travel to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday. Stephen Bywater will be in goal, while David Norris and Velice Sumulikoski are both likely to be in midfield if the Macedonian receives international clearance in time.
Magilton, who had a spell at Sheffield Wednesday as a player prior to joining the Blues, is pleased with the additions he has made to his squad but, after failing to land Leicester City central defender Gareth McAuley, is still looking for more. The Blues boss has confirmed he will look at further signings when the emergency loan window opens next Friday.
Ellington to Return From Scunthorpe
Monday, 7th Jan 2013 17:22
Scunthorpe United will not be extending Nathan Ellington’s loan having signed free agent Akpo Sodje until the end of the season.
Manager Brian Laws said: Now that we have Akpo in there we have no finances to maintain Nathan Ellington being here.
“He has been hit and miss and it has been a bit of a stop-start scenario. We cannot afford to carry on like that.”
Ellington’s spell was up after Saturday’s 0-0 home draw with Shrewsbury, which was only the 31-year-old s second start since he moved to the League One club in November, a calf problem having hampered his time in Lincolnshire.
