Popped up on my Timeline today, that’s 12 years ago Danny Russel left Haven having never played a game.

So how many others have we signed, but never got to wear the Choc, Blue and Gold.

John Todd comes to mind. There was also very strong rumours at the time, we had signed Bradley Clyde on a short term contract, before he broke his arm on the Kangaroo Tour.

There is 18 on that list. Nothing on wikipedia about him playing for haven.  Interesting one.  Will keep digging.
