Brent Sancho joins County.
Written by thejailender.Ross County today signed former Trinidad & Tobago internationalist Brent Sancho on an 18 month contract. The big 31-year-old central defender has been on trial with County for a few weeks and had agreed a deal with the club around 10 days ago, but the signing of the player could not be completed until international clearance was sought from the Home Office. Clearance for him to sign came through earlier this week and the deal was completed on Thursday morning.
Sancho has been suffering from an injury in recent months and has not played competative football since before Chistmas, although he is now free from injury he is still alcking match fitness and is unlikely to feature thsi weekend against Airdrie, but County's manager Derek Adams feels he will feature in the County team before the end of the season. In a bid to help his fitness County have been playing a series of closed door friendlies this week, which featured many of the fringe players from the County squad.
On Tuesday night County beat a highland league select team 3-1 at Buckie Thistle's Victoria Park - goals coming from Craig Gunn, Stewart Petrie and David Winters, while another closed door's bounce match has been organised for tonight (Thursday), where a mixture of fringe and youth players will feature.
