The observer is calling it as a done deal. Solid and dependable. Good work Russell and Mark. These sort of players should have been coming into our squad years ago. Can only be commended for addressing so quickly.

COVENTRY City are set to sign experienced defender Kevin Foley from Charlton Athletic, the Coventry Observer can exclusively reveal.
The 32-year-old Republic of Ireland international right-back had a medical with the Sky Blues today, we have learned.
He is set to sign for Coventry until the end of the season, with a potential view to extending his contract for a further season.
Foley, who also has premiership experience with Wolves, would be following new Coventry manager Russell Slade from the League One London club, and is set to become Slade’s fourth acquisition in the current January transfer window.
It was Slade who brought Foley to Charlton last year on a short-term deal which expired this week.
Foley had stints with Danish side FC Copenhagen and Championship club Ipswich Town prior to Charlton.
His experience would be seen as bolstering the defence alongside new signing Nathan Clarke, particularly as right back and loanee Jamie Sterry was this week returns to his club Newcastle United.
We understand Coventry City are hoping to make three of four further additions to the squad this month, potentially as a mix of loans and signings.
Speculation is rife that midfielder Ben Stevenson and Cian Harries, who is on trial at Liverpool this week, could follow striker Marvin Sordell out of the club.
Foley began his career at Luton and was at Wolves for seven years, including when they won promotion to the Premier League in 2009.
He made eight appearances for the Republic of Ireland between 2009 and 2012.
