Leeds sign Schmeichel from Notts County

May 27, 2010

Kasper Schmeichel has become Leeds United’s first signing of the season after joining from Notts County on a free transfer.

The former Man City shot stopper played 43 times for County last season winning promotion with the club, but The Magpies can no longer afford the players wages and have decided to let him go.

Schmeichel who signed a two-year deal at Elland Road had a fantastic season for County and was named PFA League Two Player of the Year.

Schmeichel said: “There wasn’t a lot of decision making to do,” “I’ve been talking to clubs, and when the question was raised about interest from Leeds I said yes.”

“I’ve grown up in England, know a lot about English football, and I know Leeds is one of the biggest clubs in the country.”

York Denies Brodie bid

November 15, 2009

Blue Square Premier League side York City have denied they received any bids for striker Richard Brodie. His manager Martin Foyle however expects bids in the January transfer window for the forward. His goal tally was taken to 17 in midweek after he scored a hat-trick against Chester City. He also scored a brace in his sides FA Cup 3-2 victory over Crewe Alexandra last weekend.

League One side Huddersfield Town had been linked with a bid for the in-form ace but according to Foyle so far they haven’t made their interest concrete. He has however admitted that it wouldn’t be a surprise if Town boss Lee Clark did try to snap his striker when the transfer window does open.

Foyle told the York Press: “I’ve not heard anything from Lee Clark, Huddersfield or anybody else, but I expect to and, to be honest, expected to about ten games ago because it’s not just about Brodes’ goals. We’ve seen a massive improvement in him as a player this season and he will be on a lot of people’s radar. There will be speculation but, until I actually get a phone call, we will carry on normally. I know what will probably happen – we will get a derisory offer from somewhere.
