Clinton Jones

[Goedy]

Will Clinton Jones be promoted to the senior list. his pre season was great and he looks as if he could be quite a handy player switching in the midfield.

DO we have to wait till someone gets a long term injury?

 

[Kildonan]

Whilst Raph and Sammy are listed as injured, they are both back in training - so I don't think either can be considered on the long term injury list.
