“Although he’s only 21 Jeffrey ticks a lot of boxes; I watched him play a couple of years ago and he caught my eye then. For a 21 year old he has a lot of appearances under his belt and he was keen to come here to further his experience. If he does well hopefully we might be able to extend his loan, but for now I’m delighted to have another option for the right side of midfield. He’s had a good grounding in the game, having come through the youth system at Arsenal, and having made almost 50 appearances for Preston North End. Brighton manager Chris Hughton spoke highly of him and he gives us a different option. I think he is a key piece in the jigsaw as he is a natural right winger and, in Cristian Montano we have a natural left winger.”

Chairman Nick Higgs said:
“I would like to welcome Jeffrey to the club and wish him every success whilst he is with us. He comes to us as a highly recommended right winger and I know that Darrell rates him very highly. Along with the other new signings we have brought to the club, I think we have an exciting looking squad as we prepare for life back in League Two.”

Lets hope he and Montano can put the crosses in for our strikers to finish, if they can do that an exciting season beckons

 

Blissett would love to be involved. His height should give him many chances!

 

Only a month? knowing are luck he will get injured in the first game.

 

Can't see Blissett playing much IMO I think he will be gone by the end of the season he's just not a player I rate.

 

I only said Blissett as his height will cause issues with lots of crosses from our wide men!

 

Maybe we should sign another target man

 

Montano and Monakana will be a bit of a mouthful for announcer Nick Day

 

Looks an exciting player.
