Grays defender ends two month spell with move to Halesowen

ONE of the strangest transfers in Grays Athletic’s history came to a conclusion today when the club announced that Lee Canoville has completed a move to Halesowen Town.

Canoville, 27, was signed by chairman and then manager Mike Woodward on September 1, but though he was always declared in the squad and never appeared on the club’s injury list, he did not feature in any games, even on the bench.

He was released by Notts County at the end of the last campaign, having made 35 appearances last season.

Meanwhile loanees Simon Thomas and Jon Dixon have now returned to their parent clubs.

Thomas, whose original loan spell included the weekend’s scheduled Blue Square South match at Kidderminster, has gone back to Crystal Palace early.

He refused to play for Grays in last weekend’s FA Cup tie as he didn’t want to get cup-tied, even though palace said they were happy for him to play.

Dixon goes back to Brighton and Hove Albion.

Grays midfielder, Ishmael Welsh, has been included in the Contingency Squad for the England "C" sqaud for the International Challenge Trophy, Group A, match against Italy on November 12.

The match will take place at the Stadio Santa Columba in Benevento (near Naples)
