Mandela Egbo, number 2

Quick on the heels of Eoghan O'Connell comes the signing on a two year deal of 'attacking right-back' Mandela Egbo. 

Another player I haven't heard of before but his CV is interesting. He left Palace's youth team (obviously a Garner choice) at 17 and made 83 appearances for Borussia Monchengladbach. Has since had a season at New York Red Bulls and made 9 appearances for our new feeder club (STFC) last season.

At 24 he will still see the peak of his career ahead of him - let's hope it's with us and he can offer more than Matthews. 

I have been quick to criticise the Club's communication in the recent past, but O'Connell's introductory video and today's snippet of Egbo responded out aloud to a supposed text from Garner offering him a job, were both well done. Both players were word perfect on rationale, excitement and eagerness.
