Today's 'Tiser (20/12/19) back page headline - "Good chance of Ward deal - Boss Warne hoping arrival of old boy is only days away"
He hasn't played a first team game since injuring cruciate knee ligament on Boxing Day 2018. Warney says he likes the player because Ward "can cover a few positions" (?!?)
Also - RUFC planning a fee-free January regarding transfer targets - so only loans/free transfers/ out of contract signings likely.
Nowt about getting any defensive cover, although Warney admits that he has got "issues at the back"
Also mentions that the two trialists who played in midweek Reserves 2-0 victory "were young players and not potential first-team signings", which anybody who was at the game would have guessed anyway.
