Henderson Agrees Foxes Switch

Leicester City today confirmed the capture of former Bradford City goalkeeper Paul Henderson on a two-year contract - subject to the player passing a medical.

Henderson is currently back in his native Australia - but has agreed terms with the club and will complete the move when he returns for pre-season training.

The 29-year-old arrived at the Walkers Stadium earlier this month for a short trial period, and impressed City boss Craig Levein sufficiently to offer the big Aussie a deal.

Sydney-born Henderson made 40 league appearances for the Bantams last season, keeping 10 clean sheets along the way as Colin Todd's side ended their League One campaign just outside the play-off places. But the player failed to agree new terms at Valley Parade meaning he was free to join another club.

City boss Craig Levein said: "We have agreed personal terms with Paul and he will undergo a medical once he returns from Australia next month."

Henderson will be the third Australian to join the Leicester squad alongside Patrick Kisnorbo and club captain Danny Tiatto.

Back-up surely ?

Back-up surely ?

I would think so. ;-) :mrgreen:

Back-up surely ?

Pieman was meant to be back up, and he played for about 15 games...

 

[lazzer]

that was back up for the pitch covering with his kecks

I think we could have signed a quality player here :

Bit hit and miss this guy so i would imagine he will be back-up.

The money he'll be on he's a bargain. As as been mentioned, his kicking game needs working on and he's so-so on crosses, but when it comes to stopping the ball going in the back of the net he's excellent. I'm glad he's gone though, his eyes used to scare me. On the days I took the sprog and sat behind the goal in the Kop I felt uneasy when he used to collect the ball to take a goal kick and had to avert my eyes. There were days when I was so traumatised I had trouble sleeping. Evil, pure evil so they are.

Hendo

class for a league 1 stopper

but

not in Walker's league.

He's a very decent shot-stopper so-so on crosses - decent distribution, cannot kick when there is a slight breeze about tho!

All in all I think he'll be a decent back up for your man - personally though I wouldn't leave a club to park my lazy australian ass on someone else's bench - but there you go!

He's got great hair.

Sort of a jet black Patrick Swayze affair.

Glad I could help.

Seems ok, im glad he has nice hair though.

Bradford han here,

He was player of the season for me along with dean windass, he came in the summer for us as back up but soon found himself playing pretty much every game for us. He is a quality keeper and dont be surprised if he does the same as what he did at bradford, come in as back up and find himself being your number 1.

yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all very well Bradford han, but what about his hair??

we need to know more about his hair

 

[Rayvon]

i'd say he'd need to have hair like the "hoff" to satisfy silverfox, and a chest rug to go with it. ;-)

 

[lazzer]

does he have an alice band ?

is that ment to make him sound good. Dean windass is a player with absolutly no talent appart from a sweet right hook. if he is in the same league as dean windass then it looks like we got another 'Spider' Kalac on our hands. Thinking about it tho we cud do with a big shit aussie keeper to come on for nothing at the end of the play off final next season!!

windass scored over 20 goals for bradford this year, so he must be doing something right

Getting back to the hair issue....we seem to have developed a tradition of hirsute keepers, Walker, Taylor and now "Hendo". ....anyone got a photo?

 

[Hazzman]

We might as well picking up lower league goalkeepers because the quality is there. No bloody scottish cast-offs.

I might turn up to Belvoir Drive in me keeper kit, put on a Scottish accent, holding a can of Tennets in me hand and say I played for Raith Rovers.

Levein would hand me a contract.
However I would have to prove my scottishness.
Which means dancing around in a kilt watching Azerbaijian 1-0 nil up in Baku.

 

[drummindefender]

theres one on the os
