After Saturdays dissapointment and the lack of a conversion in front of goal as well as pending suspensions, United have brought in Stuart Hendrie.
Younger brother of our ex pro Lee Hendrie then Stuart comes very highly recommended and joins from Barwell out of the Evo-Stik.
On the radar of manager Martin Carruthers for quite a while, it looked likely that Basford would make an approach in the preseason for the 25 year old striker. However with the suspension of TJ Nightingale for 3 out of the last 5 as well as the likely suspension of Blair Anderson for a minimum 2 out the 5 then the manager moved at speed to seal the deal before the 5pm transfer deadline tonight.As a youngster like his famous brother Stuart was at Aston Villa. Most recently he teamed up with Lee at Tamworth, so the brothers now have a great opportunity to make an impression on Basford united management going into the preseason.Both Hendries are likely to feature Weds in the long journey to Bridlington. Lee has confirmed his availability and was back to his brilliant best Sat instigating numerous chances not converted in the game United lost oat the death 0-1 and effectively made promotion a very remote long shot.
