Yeovil player of the season,good experienced signing for me

[valiant_593]

Very good signing again. Im starting to get optimistic all of a sudden

[MattW]

Decent goal record when at Newport! Like it

[TheSage]

He's played at this level for a while and I agree, should give us a bit more experience and know-how.

Doesn't score many goals but well built and clearly a favourite of the fans at Yeovil. They are usually a good judge of a player.

 

What position exactly does he play?

[valiant_593]

Foley and O'connor would be a very good centre midfield, with inniss and streete behind we could have the makings of quite a decent side. Just hope we bring in some decent forwards

A note from the well-respected Yeovil website ciderspace:

 

"He was a key member of the club's 2012-13 League One promotion winning squad, and although he dropped out of the reckoning during the club's Championship season, his third season with the Glovers was perhaps his most impressive - maintaining high standards during a 2014-15 campaign that saw other players lose their way somewhat.

 

The very best of luck to Sam during his time at Vale Park..."

 

p.s. If he can replicate his first season at Yeovil (promotion to the Championship) with Vale, I guess we'd all be quite happy... ;)

[Shropshire_Valiant]

Some experience in the championship the year before with Yeovil which is useful. It's not easy being the best player in a crap side as inevitably the chips are down with some(if not most of your team mates). Lets hope he can achieve a bit more with us next season. Welcome aboard Sam!

Excellent work again Rob and Smurf!

 

Tempted to get a season ticket again now! Buzz is building!

[robf]

What position exactly does he play?

 

Collating various notes from Wikipedia and media reports, he's left-footed and currently a central midfielder but he did also play as a withdrawn striker at Newport.

[valiant_593]

quote from a Yeovil fan on the league 1 forum 'absolutely gutted he's left. You've got yourself a player who can play anywhere across the midfield, tackle well and take a good set piece. Literally never stops running and gives it his all' sounds like a cracking signing

[Andy06]

Sounds like the team is coming together brilliantly great signing

[bar1]

Doha, get me all excited and do one of those team sheets with the new players in, love that

[Andy Proctor]

Sounds a decent signing but probably means lines is going bristol rovers.

[sheffieldclayhead]

A good week for signings so far, look like RP shaping his team up nicely.
