Hughton Offered Six Month Deal

Last updated : 22 July 2009 By Peter Muxlow

Cian Hughton has been offered a deal to remain a Lincoln City player for the next six months, and possibly beyond.

LCM revealed on Monday that Hughton would become a part of the first team squad, and that news has been confirmed in local press today. However it was understood that deal would be a year with a further year option if he played enough games - however Peter Jackson has suggested that its six months with 'an option to extend that'.

Jacko spoke of his need for right back cover rather than an actual right back, but Hughton has impressed in his short time at City and that has forced Jacksons hand. Indeed with Green out for six months the deal will give Hughton a chance to put some real competition in the battle for the right back slot.
