A Spann in the works

Wrexham have been something of a base / launching pad / home for Trinidad & Tobago footballers in the last few years, nurchering talents such as Carlos Edwards (a good mention on Match of the Day last Saturday "cutting his teeth with Wrexham"), Dennis Lawrence and Hector Sam.

Following the summer-long rumours and constant readings of Sunderland and Sheffield United messageboards to a particular Trinidad & Tobago player on trial with both clubs throughout June and July - not to mention the fantastic YouTube clip appearing amongst it all, and heavily rumoured to join Wrexham (Brian Carey had him on a shortlist since February at Trinidad v Iceland apparently)... He was finally spotted on the Wrexham team bus for the trip to Darlington on Saturday, and was sat amongst the bench for the defeat... It seems he had his first full training session with the club yesterday judging by all the photos in the local papers this morning and splashed about on various websites, and mention of a 3 year contract. So just a work permit to come through, and Silvio Spann with (hopefully) strikes like the one leaving his foot last month in the Gold Cup below, are coming to the Racecourse very soon!
