Craig Calver; another league chance gone
20-year-old forward Craig Calver has had an unhappy time with Yeovil Town, and after joining Billericay Town on loan this season, the second time he's been at the club where he ended up spending most of his time on the bench making four appearances off it, the not surprising news that he's looking for another club once again
In fact, the bench is where poor Craig seems most comfortable, as with the Shrimpers that's the closest he got to a first team apppearance!
It's been a similar story with the Glovers with just six substitute appearances totalling under an hour since joining the Somerset club in March 2010 from AFC Sudbury.
Calver had been given a one-year contract as part of the developmental squad with Southend after being part of the Youth Alliance Championship winning under-18 side a couple of seasons ago.
It's starting to look that the diminutive striker, Craig stands at 5ft 10 ins., could struggle to make the grade in league football but will find life easier in the Isthmian League Premier Division and we wish him well.
