New face Duffy set to feature

21 January 2011 10:00
Winger Mark Duffy should go straight into the Scunthorpe squad to face Burnley after joining the club from Morecambe this week. The former Liverpool trainee, 25, has penned a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee. Iron boss Ian Baraclough has already signed centre-back Paul Reid from Colchester for a reported fee of £100,000, and he will make his home debut on Saturday. However, midfielder Michael O'Connor remains sidelined with a knee injury and forward Garry Thompson will also miss out with a groin problem. Skipper Cliff Byrne has missed the last two games with a back injury and will be missing and centre-back Rob Jones is still absent with a nerve-related injury. Niall Canavan is also out with a knee problem but David Mirfin could be available after injury.
