Shirtliff on New Signing

Last updated : 13 January 2006 By Editor
After capturing Danny Reet from Bury, Stags boss Peter Shirtliff has been speaking about his signing (speaking in todays Nottingham Evening Post) "Danny is strong, has a good physique, is mobile and scores goals - he will be a real asset to this club,"

"It's pleasing to get someone with Danny's talent in on a long-term deal because I am looking to build a side for the long-term, not just the short-term and he is the type of player I want."

"Bury were interested in signing Danny too but as soon as Wednesday recalled him to Hillsborough, we made a bid for him,"

"When Matthew Tipton left, it left a void up front and that was made even worse when Chris Beardsley broke his leg.

"But now we have more competition in that area with Danny signing."

I think Danny is looking for a challenge.

"Paul Sturrock has just signed two new strikers (Deon Burton and Marcus Tudgay) at Wednesday and he realises that he isn't likely to get a chance in their first team.

"He's said to himself that he'd rather play for Mansfield than sit on the bench."
