As already said, this has a Bostwick signing feel to it in the 'how have we managed that?!' sense.
If this is the quality of experienced player we're looking to recruit through the spine of the team, we'll be just fine. No surprise to see him come straight in as Club Captain either. There aren't too many who've captained us as loan players down the years?
Nice to hear that he's thinking more towards, presumably, his career after football and choosing that over money. A fair share of PL and Championship footbalI will have seem him ok in that respect.
When you have such a highly regarded coach, that's probably going to be a pull for Bridcutt type of players.
