George Friend to sign?

Doncaster Rovers’ left sided centre-half is said to be close to moving to The Valley. Friend started his career at Exeter and will know Matt Taylor well. He earned a big move to Wolves 4-years ago and was part of Mick McCarthy’s team that won promotion.

The 24-year old couldn’t break into Wolves’ Premier League side and after loans at Millwall and Scunthorpe, he moved to Doncaster two seasons ago and made 60 appearances.

Friend was Doncaster’s club and supporters player of the year and will cost £100,000 with Middlesbrough our competitors for his signing.
