Ronnie Moore has returned to Rotherham United to poach another player in Chris Swailes. The big 6'-2” defender was drafted in as cover for the injured Haining and Stam. Swailes has signed a two year contract after agreeing to settle with Rotherham but will not be joining his new team-mates on the Ibiza trip. He will be doing pre-season training at Boundary Park with Tony Philliskirk instead.Swailes said, “There have been a lot of new players arriving at Boundary Park and we expect to do a lot better than last season of course and we must be in contention for a promotion spot. Ronnie has taken Rotherham out of this divison before so he knows what's required. I am looking forward to getting stuck in to some games when the lads are back from Ibiza.”
The way that the Latics are making signings lately, they must be due a mention in the Guinness Book of Records! Anybody got a calculator?
