Leicester City sign former Chelsea midfielder Conor Clifford

Recommended Posts

Tough tackling midfielder, decent passing ability and can find the odd goal. Wouldn't expect him to feature but shrewd business from Pearson. Potentially the 'tough-tackling' midfielder many crave.

Only till the end of the season, so is it an extended trial or might he actually get some game time?

Everything I've heard about him seems promising. I wouldn't be averse to giving him some minutes, bring him on 2nd half see what he can do.

I would imagine we won't see him feature this season but good business on a free with low wages even if we sold him on for a small fee later on

Could turn out to be alright, could be another Harry Worley. Doubt we'll see him turn out for the first team this season, not while King, Drinky and James are still all fit anyway.

Apologies if this has already been posted...

"Leicester have signed former Chelsea trainee Conor Clifford on a short-term deal until the end of the season.

Clifford, released by the FA Cup holders in January, has been training with the Foxes' development squad and the midfielder scored the winning goal for Steve Beaglehole's Under-21 side in a 2-1 victory over Birmingham last month.

Dublin-born Clifford, 21, is described by Leicester as a tough-tackling central midfield player with an eye for goal.

He was called into Giovanni Trapattoni's Republic of Ireland squad for their World Cup Qualifier against Germany in October 2012, but the player has yet to make a senior appearance for his country.

Clifford joined Chelsea in 2007, winning the FA Youth Cup with the Blues three years later.

During his time at Stamford Bridge he gained Football League experience with loan spells at Plymouth Argyle, Notts County, Yeovil, Portsmouth and Crawley."

Sounds like he has done well in the U21s and will be interesting to see if he features in the first team at all or if he will stay in U21s and fight for a contract that way.

He also looks like Jay spearing with hair....

Isn't this yet another up and coming young midfielder?

How many more young players do we need?

What's Nige doing? I sometimes wonder if he's building for next season in the Championship and anything else is a bonus?
