Too high a level for him. He will get found out and no doubt Papa Byrne will be tweeting

I hadn't realised that Aaron Bennett plays for them too.

The last club I thought would look at him. Were those concerned in his signing somewhere else when PP hooked him at half time at Broadhurst Park after he'd let in three really poor goals? Maybe they want him as a second choice keeper. That's about his mark. The poorest keeper we've had since the appalling Andrew Dawber, with whom he shares a tendency to blame somebody else whenever he makes one of his all-too-frequent howlers.

Yes. In a way it's a shame he couldn't have stayed at m*cc and undermined their progress for a while. 😉
