Latics add Thompson
15 Jun 2007 - 12:56:29
Oldham Athletic boss John Sheridan has made former Nottingham Forest defender John Thompson his second summer signing, following Thursday's acquisition of veteran goalkeeper Mark Crossley.
Thompson has signed a two-year deal with the Latics after making 129 League appearances for Forest. He also had two loan spells with Tranmere Rovers last term.
Sheridan told the club's official website: "This is another excellent signing for us. I know how highly they rated John at Tranmere, and we've got the added bonus that he can play in a few positions.
"He's the right age and has come from a big club in Nottingham Forest. I'm sure John can have a big impact and make us a better team.
"I sat down with the lad before I brought him in and explained that he'd be playing primarily at centre-half, but there's going to be occasions when we need him to slot in elsewhere.
"He can also play at full-back and in midfield and that gives us a bit more flexibility within the squad if required."
