Forrester to Cannock

With Patrick Smith already signed on the dotted line for East Grinstead, Cannock were going to be looking for a goalkeeper from the outset. Taking over from ex-England international Fair, Smith had a busy season in goal for the Staffordshire side as they avoided the drop in a league that has started to ratchet further up in quality and competitiveness. And with his departure, Cannock are seemingly without a first choice. But, the latest rumour is that they have secured the services of Scottish international David Forrester, who had his debut season in the English national league with Old Loughtonians last season, after a number of leagues in Scotland's own equivalent league. With Allan stepping down and Cachia moving to Beeston to push his development and selection prospects, it would seem a smart move by David who will be no doubt looking to do the same.

If true (as rumours suggest), this would see three Scottish goalkeepers in the Premier league. Not sure if this is a division first, but an interesting stat none the less!
