Williams - The Squad Is Coming Along Well

Posted on: Tue 30 Jun 2009

ORIENT manager Geraint Williams is pleased to have made three summer signings before the return to pre-season training this week.

Williams has added former Wycombe striker Scott McGleish, who spent the end of the 2008/09 campaign on loan with the O's, ex-Tranmere defender Ben Chorley and striker Adrian Patulea, who spent last season at Lincoln City, to his playing staff.

The O's chief is sure all three will have a positive impact in E10, but he is aware that further additions are necessary and he is working hard to secure his transfer targets.

He said: "The reshaping of the squad is coming along fine and I'm delighted with the people we've been able to bring in.

"Scott [McGleish] had a huge impact when he walked into the building last season. so it's nice to get him in full-time.

"He's a big character and I'm looking forward to working with him again.

"Ben Chorley will add steel to the team. He's 6'3'' and he played a huge part in Tranmere's fine defensive record last season.

"I was really pleased to bring him in and he will have a bit of bite at the back.

"Adrian Patulea is a goalscorer. We'll have him around the pitch playing his football, but what he does is get in the box and score all types of goals.

"17 starts, 14 substitute appearances and 11 League goals last year was a good record for Lincoln and we're looking forward to working with him too.

"There are other areas that need improving still, but we'll keep that under the hat until we get people into the building.

"I think it's wrong when you go out and say 'we need this and we need that' because it alerts everybody else.

"We know what we're looking for and we're on the phones looking for the right people for that."
