Not sure the exact in and outs but he would have been able to go to Yeovil on loan but he is a free agent and that would mean him signing permently. Brighton or Forest could sign him and loan him out if you wanted to do that for a small fee ?
I seen that written by Claridge load of c--p comfortable in the air must be around 6ft but a footballer that is very comfortable on the ball. Not normally a centre back but I think he could do a job there no problem.
