5'9" is small for a defender, but he must be pretty darn good to have come close to making the grade at Arsenal. His last club seems to have been Portland Timbers in the MLS (who I see Adam Moffat, ex County and Elgin, plays for). I'm sure plenty of other SPL teams would like to have him on trial, so Terry has done well just to get him here for a look.
He seems to have a pedigree that is as high as we can realistically expect to attract, but we'll see how his Champions League credentials shape up at Grant Street!
Hopefully he makes more of an impact than the last vertically challenged Arsenal reject we got.
