Inman Inbound
That Friday 5pm announcement came up trumps again, as Dale announced the loan signing of Posh midfielder Brad Inman on a twelve month deal.
So what do we know about him? He's 25, he was born in Australia, he 6'2, he started his career at Newcastle, he was once on the bench for Australia against England and he scored a great goal for Crewe against us about three seconds after we'd taken the kick off.
He signed a three year deal at Peterborough last Summer, but broke his leg in preseason which put the spoilers on his season. Big things had been hoped for him but he managed just five appearances last season.
With two years left on his deal, he joins on a full season loan in which we are paying all his wages according to the Peterborough Chairman on Twitter.
