📝 Jacob Bedeau Signs

The only downside to the signing is that he plays for Grenada and will therefore miss matches during the season. Is it three international call-ups you need before you can get a game postponed (not that we’d necessarily want to do that)?

Yes, 3 call ups.

Very happy with the two pieces of business so far.

Seems like we have learned lessons from last season.

In yet another cynical ploy to sell season tickets Notts have completed the signing of central defender Jacob Bedeau.

Attachment 26277
The 24-year-old has signed a three-year deal and becomes our second summer signing following the arrival of fellow defender Matty Platt.

Bedeau arrives after leaving Morecambe, for whom he was a standout performer in both League One and Two.

And Richard Montague, who sits on our board and leads on recruitment, believes Bedeau will bring a fantastic blend of youth, experience and quality to our backline.

He said: “There are many reasons we’re excited to welcome Jacob into the squad.“He's a fantastic athlete – quick, powerful and brilliant in the air, while also being an outstanding one-v-one defender.

“Despite being only 24, he already has more than 150 EFL appearances to his name – not only proving his quality, but also his ability to stand up to the demands of the EFL.

“His age also means he has huge potential to grow with the club and we know we can provide the right environment for him to do that.”

Bedeau is a product of Leyton Orient and Bury’s academies – and he debuted for the latter in League One aged only 16.

He went on to make seven appearances for the Shakers, impressing sufficiently to earn a big-money move to Aston Villa who had beaten off competition from the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool for his signature.

Bedeau became a mainstay of Villa’s Under 23s side in his two years in the West Midlands, before joining League One side Skunthorpe United and going on to establish himself as a regular starter despite still only being in his t33ns.

His promise was recognised by Burnley, who signed him following his departure from S****horpe, before he headed out on loan to Morecambe – a move he went on to make permanent.

In his time on the Lancashire coast, Bedeau racked up 61 League One appearances and another 43 in League Two before departing the club this summer.

Why is it a cynical ploy? What's with the negativity b0ll0cks?

He does seem like the type of player who should've been the first through the door last summer.

"An outstanding One-v-one defender'' is exactly what we need for that RCB slot.

[ThaiPie]

Yeah, two defenders who look promising.

Maybe we are going to need some new vocabulary on the board....... "a mean defence" or "a tight defence"

Did I read somewhere he's left footed?

If so, a back three of Macari-Platt-Bedeau looks good to me.

Still think we need another CB, a GK, and another CM.
