Scunthorpe have always been favourites to sign him after he was loaned out to them, and they have tied him down to a two-year deal. No transfer fee is involved as the 24-year-old former Tranmere player is out of contract.
Meanwhile, the Iron have ended negotiations with Stev Angus, who was on loan to City from Cambridge for a time last season. Brian Laws says the defender has "a lot of baggage" and is carrying an injury, which have disuaded the club from persuing their interest in him. Iron-Bru.net reports that Cambridge have released his registration.
