I’m not sure he is a direct replacement. My understanding is that we couldn’t get the one we wanted so he’s more of a stop gap. We were in big for Murphy but Wakey wouldn’t sell. He’s out of contract next year though….

With Hopoate being made of biscuits then I think Ritson will get some game time as Bennison will need to play FB. It’s also a low risk deal. If he steps up we sign him permanently and if he doesn’t then he goes back to Barrow with nothing lost.

He’s absolutely rapid and can certainly finish but it’s a big step up to SL. One thing we lack is sheer pace and he has that in abundance.

Saying that we’ve done ok with Walmsley, Batchelor and Bentley that were all signed from the Championship.
