I can’t remember him at all. This is either because I didn’t actually see him or because of encroaching dementia.
You’ll be glad to know it’s the former! A one-game wonder, signed by Francino and started the 4-2 defeat at Workington in December 2018. Went back to Solihull without playing another game despite not looking too bad at right back:

It was an utterly turgid day from the off. Torrential downpours all day, a pudding of a pitch, a squad in complete disarray with 16 year-olds making up the numbers and we had to wear Workington’s away shirts as we forgot to bring our own. Jack Hallahan made his debut in the same game. The supporters coach was only about a third full.

Two for the price of one at Strangers - Callum Coyle and Andre Johnson

Are they determined to finish off the job they didn't complete from last season in getting themselves relegated? I can't believe Jody Banim's retained so many of last season's squad who were quite clearly not good enough and then added these type of players who don't stick around anywhere for very long.

Surprised Duzza's two goals for Alty haven't made it onto this thread yet, though if it weren't for social media and a pal texting me I wouldn't have known, not a word on the BBC Football website...

Ignoring the obvious media interest and stripping it back to the facts, I wouldn't be jumping for joy at signing a 37-year-old who last kicked a ball in 2017 and at step three level as well

Great move for him.
At least he's now with a club that doesn't have any financial difficulties... oh, erm...
