Pat Hoban
Hoban plays for Dundalk, one of the sides Danny went to watch in September and we know he’s already a fan of Hoban. He tried to sign the Irishman when he joined Mansfield in 2016/17, it was as good as tied up until the Stags jumped in. Who would have thought, them hijacking one of our deals *ahem* Tyler Walker *ahem*.
Hoban didn’t make a go of it at Mansfield, but he’s been superb for Dundalk this season and might be looking for another chance at the English game. Danny isn’t one to discount a player for showing ambition and when he snubbed us, he did so for a team a level higher.
he said recently he’d like to come back and prove the doubters wrong, but he does have a year left on his contract over there.
The obvious question is do we actually need a like for like replacement for Matt Green? There are several variations but the key attribute must be the potential to play at Div 1 Level or else what is the point other than a stop gap till the summer.
