City have signed Leeds United striker Caleb Folan on a month’s loan. The 19 year old recently had a loan spell at Rushden – during which he played against City in the 3-3 there. He was mostly used as a substitute during his Nene Park, making his only starting appearance in their 7-1 hammering at Cardiff in the LDV trophy. He has yet to make a senior appearance at Elland Road, although he is a regular in the White Shite’s reserve team. He is City’s second signing in two days, following the arrival yesterday of Richard Sneekes on a free transfer. Following Paul Tait’s early return to Crewe, he bolster’s City’s attacking options. He is 6’1″ tall, and his primary attributes reputedly pace and power.

City have added to their squad a touch of quality by signing Richard Sneekes. The 33 year old midfielder has signed on a contract lasting until the end of the season, having been released from Stockport on a free transfer by their new manager Carlton Palmer. The Dutchman has played under Little before, at West Brom, and should add experience (and no little skill) to City’s midfield. He entered English football in 1994, leaving Fortuna Sittard for Bolton. He played 69 times for them, before West Brom paid £400,000 in March 1996 for his services. He played over 250 games for the Baggies, scoring a 34 times. Speaking to the official website, Brian Little said “it’s tremendous for us that we’ve been able to attract a player of his quality.” His signing comes out of the blue, but is a very welcome addition.
