Joined Pompey for training after leaving Norwich as a free agent. Signed short-term deals and made nine appearances, but yet to be confirmed at a new home this term. | National World

Offered some much-needed keeper cover amid Ryan Schofield's struggles. Never was called upon, however, and has moved to Danny Cowley's Colchester where he's made seven appearances this term. | SNS Group
