Til the end of the season, giving Rohan Smith opportunity to asses whether he’s A) mended his ways (unlikely) B) is worth the offfield drama or C) isn’t worth the hassle but would help in the short term seems the best way of minimising the risk.

I would imagine it’d be half a years deal which would result in option C from the above. Looking at in glass half full Zak has always managed to keep his nose clean when he’s been early at a club on another ‘last chance’ so maybe he’d manage to do the same to the end of this season too?

Intrigued by that.
Happy to receive a PM in confidence.

I've heard he's pretty much signed at Leeds, the only thing delaying it is the salary cap. If he doesn't sign, he'll go to Fev.

Also sounds like he turned up to training drunk twice in close succession. Got a warning after the 1st one, then turned up half cut again not long after

Yeah,he sounds like the exact guy we want xD

Let’s not kid ourselves. He’s at a far higher level on the pitch than anything we have and has a good injury record!

I’m sure we can change that

Don’t even tempt fate!

I've heard that tale about the Leeds culture in the 80s

If he turned up for training half cut .Well they are now full time what time does training start 9 or 10 am ? The drinking culture at clubs years ago when the game was part time and training twice a week in early evening

I don’t buy the drunk to training thing, how did he get there?

Puff the magic dragon

Neither do i more like hungover.

JJB ready to put his arm around Zak and welcome him back. I’ll offer full support as a fan too…
Can’t wait to see him rip it up again in Blue and Amber!

Weren't previous problems reported as being partly down to "hanging out with his mates". If so, moving home to Yorkshire may actually lead him into more trouble.
After he let himself and others down in the past, re-signing a player of his reputation would seem to indicate "loyalty" brand that the club ha previously marketed itself on, can now be seen as another thing of the past.
