Confimred - Paudie O’Connor

[Sutekh]

Already noted in the squad thread…..



I know, I know, you’d rather have Des.

[Royal Ginger]

Noooothing compares, nothing compares to Paudie

[Stranded]

Twitter getting very excited as a "freelance journalist" account on there with about 100 followers, says he is set to sign a long term deal with us.

[WestYorksRoyal]

A "freelance journalist" called Ed Johnson is reporting that we're set to sign him. And his Twitter history shows a half decent track record on transfers despite me having never heard of him.

[Stranded]

Earnshaw now stating he knows the club have been pushing for O' Connor over the past few weeks and more than possible he could be the first summer arrival.

[hughsies no.1]

A birdie told me he has been given the Bearwood tour. Be some signing.

[Brogue]

this would be a fantastic signing, one of the best CB's in league one

[Hound]

Be a great signing

Few different accounts (one from Wycombe saying he is no longer an option) suggesting it so hopeful

[Stranded]

Stephen Hunt getting involved now - dropping what may or may not be a hint but is being taken as one anyway.

[Brogue]

Yeah didn’t realise Stephen hunt was his agent. Got to be a done deal then. Nice. same as this matty jacob guy, his agent is hunt too

Following the same approach as Dai, just signing all players through one affiliated agent.

[tidus_mi2]

Probably the best defender in League One signing, absolutely unreal signing on a free.

[Stranded]

Pete O'Rourke, who is generally very on the money says O'Connor is having a medical today ahead of joining.

So looks like a done deal bar any issues in the medical.

Potentially a fantastic signing.

[Hound]

Enough different outlets reports to suggest this is happening

[WestYorksRoyal]

Lincoln had our number last season so signing their captain on a free is good revenge; it doesn't just strengthen us, it weakens a rival. Now just need Agyei from Orient, Olaofe from Stockport and Casey from Blackpool.

Email received - Paudie O'Connor is a Royal | Irish Defender links up with the Royals

Four year contract til summer 2029

[traff]

Good signing that.
Leader all in defender (discipline maybe only weakness) ideal age experience.

[WestYorksRoyal]

Amazing signing. Would complement Mbengue really well if he stays, if not we need another.

Leadership and experience which we've been lacking.

If we convince Mbengue to sign a new contract, doubt anyone will have a better central defence partnership next season.
