Peterborough United and Swindon Town have both tried to sign free agent goalkeeper Luke Steele, as per a report by the Peterborough Telegraph.
The stopper is a free agent but is unable to join a Football League club due to a FIFA rule that he can’t play for another team this season.
Steele, who is 36 years old, has already played for Stamford AFC, Peterborough Northern Star Reserves and Spalding Sunday League side Jubilee FC this term.

I believe he might have trained with Town recently.

Apparently not ‘Their director of football Barry Fry has said: “It’s a FIFA rule apparently. Luke was heartbroken. He was going to join Swindon at one point, but he would have preferred to play for us as he wanted to give something back to the club that started his career, a bit like Matthew Etherington and Simon Davies have done. “We’d agreed a deal with Luke and we had a shirt with his name and a number on it ready for him, but it all fell through. The only club I knew Luke had played for was Stamford. Luke rang the EFL to get clarification, but they said they were bound by FIFA regulations.” |

Its a shame w/r/t Luke Steele. But, I quite like the look of Wollacott. I know we have only seen 2 games so far, but he seems to have a long reach, good spring, decent handling, massive kick, commands his area and on the most part comes for crosses well. He is OOC at the end of the season and may be someone we could gamble on and look to develop further.

I agree, Woollacott has something about him and I'd like to see him here for the rest of the season.

I wonder if he actually would've rather signed at Peterborough. Obviously yes for ££ and the sentimental value, but he'd have been number 2 or 3 GK there whereas I imagine here we would've signed him as our #1. Irrelevant now I suppose. |

I've a bit of a theory. Bear with me...
If I have it right, we are allowed to have Woolocott (sp?) on an emergency loan on the condition that we are trying to sign a permanent replacement.
You'd think we'd be aware of the rules regarding who we can/cannot sign, so maybe 'trying' to sign Steele was just an attempt to make it appear as though we are trying - allowing us to keep Woolocott. For now at least. Although, granted, I don't know if we'd be able to pull it off for the rest of the season.
How did I do?

Sounds plausible, and highly likely given the way that Power does business

So it's a toss up between Barry Fry or Alan Nixon as a reliable source of information then. Hmm, not sure I fancy either of those |

What is actually the point of the 'can't play for x amount of clubs in a season'?
