Yeovil Town manager Terry Skiverton has confirmed our earlier news, that he plans to sign up former Bath City midfielder on a contract. The 37 year old has extensive experience with Exeter City, Bristol City and Cheltenham Town but after being released by the Grecians over the summer, he headed to Twerton Park on a short term contract.
Skiverton has told BBC Somerset that Russell is watching the home match against Milton Keynes Dons today, and that he expects to sign him up tomorrow, subject to a medical, and he is expected to sign until the end of the season:
"Alex is here, and we're going to try to get something done tomorrow. He'll be coming along with Richard Martin. He'll bring in that experience - the same as Paul (Wotton) has brought in so far, and he's a very good player. He'll keep the ball, he'll manipulate it and he'll talk to people and he'll pull people. We need those kind of characters in the squad and that's why I'm adding those two, and I'm really excited at getting him in as well."
Today's match sees the final match that goalkeeper John Sullivan will play, with Stephen Henderson due to arrive this week from Bristol City, whilst midfielder Shaun MacDonald also departs today, returning to Swansea City. An injury to defender Tom Parkes means that his loan spell at Huish Park is temporarily curtailed as he gets himself sorted out at the Walkers Stadium.
Goalkeeper Richard Martin's delay appears to be due to Crawley Town insisting upon the Glovers honouring the seven day notice of approach rule required for non-contract players registered to other clubs. Martin will therefore be available for Saturday's match against Brentford, but is already training at Huish Park and was at Saturday's match at Plymouth Argyle.
