Giovannetti Dips Into Coffers in January Transfer Window

Hykeham Tigers have today completed the signing of  Nick Steadman after the Midfielder accepted their offer of a transfer from Division Two Outfit, Ruston Eagles. 

The 21-year-old, who left  Ruston Eagles after a falling out with the heirarchy at the Eagle and at the end of the Veikkausliiga season, had successful trial spells at Fen Lane.

Steadman told Tiger's website that he had a couple of other options.

"But as soon as I knew Hykeham Tigers were interested then it was always going to be my number one choice," he said.

"I am now going to do my best to challenge for a place in the first team and I'll see where it goes from there. I have only been training for a short time, but I really like the place, the manager is great and it's a cracking group of players."

The figure attached to the deal is said to be undisclosed however rumours of a £4.50 fee, and also a lesson on kicking with Chris Bennett was said to be the deciding factor on Steadman's move. However, there has been talk of some strange personal terms including never to hear Kris Nelson sing, and also everyone must chip in a £1 a week to get Aaron Starbuck some weight loss pills. Steadman is after an extended contract in the new year with the Hykeham Outfit

"If something could materialise in the next few months, or at the end of the season, that would be great," said Steadman. "But first I need to prove myself and I am hoping to do that."

Giovannetti was keen to comment on the signing;

"Nick is a strong, battling and grafting midfielder, he's exactly what we need in the run in to the end of the season. I've got a few more deals up my sleeve but we'll see how things go up until then"

First, though, he will be pushing for a place in the squad to face Newton United in a crunch Divison Three game on Sunday
