City Sign Reeves

Last updated : 07 March 2003 By Andy Beill
With Ryan Williams and Lawrie Dudfield failing to make an impression on right-wing this season, manager Peter Taylor has had to play the likes of Stuart Green, Carl Regan, Steve Melton and Richie Appleby out of position to fill the wide role.

However, he has finally found a solution to the problem in the shape of 21-year-old Martin Reeves. The Birmingham-born youngster has only turned out 5 times for Leicester this season - including a substitute appearance at Boothferry Park in the Worthington Cup back in September - so joins City looking for first team football. However, he may have to wait to even get that here after two successive wins, although he will definitely be in the squad against Oxford tomorrow.

He has joined for a month, and there's the option to make it a permanent deal if he impresses.
