    Richie Wellens has signed for Doncaster Rovers

    Great news as we needed him off the books. Great signing for Donny aswell

    Hopefully Gally follows him

    Good luck to him, a committed servant of our club who unfortunately has lost what pace he ever had. Good signing for Doncaster, as one of my local teams I'd like them to do ok for the rest of the season. Would have kept him personally until we had some cover, anyone reckon this means Danns is in the first-team frame now?

    All the best Richie


    If Donny need some more dead wood I can deliver the following

    Waghorn
    Whitbread
    Vardy
    Gallagher

    Suppose I could hire a mini bus for the rest?

    I'd like to thank him for his services. He was a very good player for us, shame his legs gave way.

    Richie Wellens was nothing short of superb in his first 2 season. Sven signed countless midfielders and not 1 of them could get into the team and impose themselves. Since then Wellens has never looked the same player

    Still a very good servant to the club and a top signing by Nigel. I still think he has alot to offer to some teams in this league but I dont think he is able to perform at the level required for us.

    Good luck to him

    Top professional, he played with passion and desire and was a key driving force in getting us to the playoffs in that first season back from league 1.

    Richie Wellens at his best

    [video=youtube;bLLihdBcfNU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=bLLihdBcfNU#t=37s[/video]

    The ball for Fryatt's goal against Blackpool and ball for Darius Vassell goal against Hull are nothing short of top class

    Doncaster Rovers have today completed the signing of Leicester City midfielder Richie Wellens, according to reports.

    Richie Wellens found himself way down the pecking order at Leicester City, and has now reportedly completed his return to former club Doncaster Rovers.

    Wellens spent time away from Leicester City last season on loan at Championship rivals Ipswich Town.

    The experienced midfielder will now ply his trade for newly promoted Doncaster Rovers.

    He was nothing short of superb in his first 2 seasons. Getting player of the year in his 2nd season

    Other then scoring goals he had everything you would want in a midfielder.

    It's very rare to get such a quality passer at this level. Hopefully Drinkwater gets his game together and starts to look like Richie's protegee sometime soon. I think Wellens will still be a real asset for Doncaster.

    Good move for both clubs. We get rid of a player on high wages that would never have started a game for us (bar injuries) to further assist us in complying with the dreaded FFP and Doncaster and Dickov get a very good footballer at this level who will be a first choice player there for them.
    Everyones a winner!
