Walkers Welcomes Worley
Posted on: Thu 06 Mar 2008
Leicester City have beaten off stiff competition from several other clubs to sign talented teenage defender Harry Worley from Premier League high-fliers Chelsea.

The 19-year-old centre-back has initially joined the Foxes on loan until the end of the season but will then put pen-to-paper on a three-year contract in the summer.

And manager Ian Holloway is delighted to have recruited Worley, who impressed during a week-long trial at the Walkers Stadium last month.

He said: "Harry is another young player to add to some of the wonderful ones we have already got here. We have paid a little bit of money for him. He chose not to stay at Chelsea even though they wanted him to sign a new deal. Preston were also in for him.

"He's 6'3" and is as quick as hell. We see him developing into a very decent centre half.

"It may seem to be a bit of a strange one considering where we are in the table, but we are looking at it long-term.

"If we get any injuries and we have had a couple of weeks of coaching him and working him then who knows. We might need him between now and the end of the season, but for now he is one to tuck in and leave underneath."

The Warrington-born defender signed for Chelsea from Stockport County in the summer of 2005 with a tribunal setting an initial fee of £150,000.

Worley turned professional in November 2005 and in his first season made the most appearances at youth level.

In March 2007 he joined Doncaster Rovers on loan, making his debut in a vital 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest before going on to make another nine appearances for Rovers.

Worley was an unused substitute in the 2007 Community Shield at Wembley and also enjoyed a month's long loan spell at Carlisle United in August.

Key thing for me here is that Chelski wanted to keep him, points to the lad having a certain amount of potential.

 

[highland fox]

My guess is one or two are going in the Summer,possibly Kisnorbo and Stearman

 

[Spanky Fox]

a great signing for us i think he will do really well in league one

Yeah but you thought the same about Mr. Kaebi, mate.

Depends which division we're in.

I can't be bothered getting excited about any of these signings any more, as the post above implies on Kaebi we've heard it all before. Etuhu and Worley might be good players but they'll turn out shite after one good performance and we'll all turn on them in 2 weeks.

When did supporting City get so depressing :icon_eek:

 

[Lako42]

Worley and Kaebi cannot really be compared though can they.

 

[Boy Genius]

Harry feckin Who?

Harry feckin Who?

WORLEY, FFS it's in the thread title you blind bastard

 

[Lako42]

Harry feckin Who?

Houdini, i would have thought you would be over the moon with this one, he's going to make Melts disappear

 

[FantasyFox]

I have a mate that supports Chelsea. He reckons he has no idea if this Harry Worley is any good. Get him in.
