Pffft, i refuse to sign on the dotted line! I want a move to a big club, not a deluded club

Apparently no truth about Howard, Nunez or Buchanan - but interest in a guy from Altringham - see link for DROS report from Saunders

Reeves

Damian REEVES (d.o.b. 18 December 1985, height 5ft 10ins)
Altrincham FC signed striker Damian Reeves on 26 June 2010 and he became the club's leading scorer and "Supporters' Player of the Season" at the end of the 2010-11 campaign, netting 19 times in 35(+11) games for a struggling side.

Doncaster-based Damian is an Academy graduate of Leeds United, where he first played under Alty boss, Lee Sinnott. Subsequently, he played Conference football with Farsley Celtic, Histon and Northwich Victoria. A Liverpool supporter, Damian broke his leg badly whilst at Leeds, after which he moved to Farsley, where he spent two years from August 2006 to June 2008. In his first season he scored 23 goals and, the following season, the Yorkshire club's one campaign in the Conference, he played 44(+2) games in all competitions, scoring 11 Conference and 3 cup goals in FA competitions. At Histon he played 13(+9) games and netted 5 times, before leaving in January 2009 to move to Northwich Victoria, where he made 7(+2) appearances.

After Vics, Damian went to Alfreton Town in 2009-10, followed by a spell at AFC Telford United and a loan spell with Bradford PA. At Telford he scored four goals in 17 appearances. He started his first game for Altrincham on the opening day of the 2010-11 season at Luton. Despite not starting more than three successive league games at a stretch in the first half of the season, Damian became a permanent starter for the second half of the campaign and went on lead the scoring charts for the club.

In 2011-12 a rich vein of form saw him hit 33 goals in Alty's first 28 league matches of the campaign, including a club record of scoring in 10 successive league games. He completed the campaign wiht a remarkable 44 goals to his name.

Outside football, Damian is a self-employed plasterer - and before establishing himself in football he had a basketball trial with Sheffield Sharks. Appearances to June 2012: 79(+12), 63 goals.

One Charlie Austin, there's only one Charlie Austin!!!

Good goal record, i reckon he could be worth a punt. (Reeves that is, not Austin).

Interesting....bit of a gamble but one worth taking...should probably be ok in league one..

Dean Saunders said he want sign two strikers and hope Damian Reeves should be ok in league one level.
