As it says on the tin.

1 year deal.

Could be like a new signing provided he stays injury free!

Yet another 1 year deal ! sorry but why cant we put deals in place with an option for another deal at least ?

I'm pleased. I think he'll be a good player for ICT, as long as he can stay out of the treatment room!

Good stuff! I hope we see the best of him this year, because no doubt about it, he is a very good player.

Looking at OTJ's injury record do you really think that would be a wise move?

As he has a dreadful injury record I think a one yr deal was wise in this case. Glad to see him sign!

More good news.

Happy with that, quality to player on his day and if he stays injury free could be a key player for us.

Aye, glad he signed on again... another 7 players and we might have a squad....

Squad starting to take shape now.

Same with Chris Hogg no point in getting him signed up on a two year deal cause of his injury record

Glad we got him signed up going to be a key player for us this season me thinks

Good news, 1 more to the squad. Are we in double figures yet

That make 12 without counting kids, if he adds 7 more its still going to be a very thin squad next season.

Re-sign Bobby Mann and we can sort that problem.

He's the size of a house these days! I tell you though, I saw him playing for Formartine a while back and his passing was still tremendous - I'd go as far as to say that he was the best distributor of the ball I saw all of last season.

OTJ looks the part.

Injuries can't often be helped especially when he is playing hard. Have to give him a chance to come good and then hopefully he will appreciate the confdence in him .

the OPTION of another year, ie we stay up you play x amount of games we can sign you for another year, covers the club, gives the player something to aim for etc.

My issue is with these straight 1 year deals we never have a settled squad, we will go through the same thing every single season, rebuild AGAIN

Hopefully he can stay fit and perform well this season, I'm sure if thats the case then come Jan discussions of a new contract would take place (well thats my hope). Being on a tight budget its a risk signing an injury prone player long term if the problem proves to be presistent. Lets hope he can find form and get back into the Wales set up - would further boost our club profile.

Didn't really see enough of him to form an opinion. Looked comfortable on the ball but rather one paced

we will be in the exact same situation next summer, players leaving and having to look around for new players. I am not saying that we should have offered him a 5 year deal or anything like that, but an OPTION for a second year if he played enough games, and we stayed up.

Oatsy, very few players will sign for more than a year with a club of our stature. It's often the case that the players/agents are pulling the strings and we can do nothing about it but accept the offer of a 1 year contract or not get the player at all.

other clubs manage it manny, we cant we ?

All different scenario's though. Quality of player, quality of club, quality of offer. The club might have wanted a longer deal, but his agent would no doubt advise against it. As I see it, it is not always the clubs fault that players only sign 1 year deals. The flip side of the coin is if we got relegated, that would do nothing for OTJ's aspirations and anything longer than a one year deal would not be in his best interest.

if they can both stay injury free this year, i'm quite excited by the prospect of a midfield pairing of tudur jones and andrew shinnie.
