Yeates set for Tigers Switch ?

The 21 yr old striker is due at the K.C today for a medical and a deal could be wrapped up by tonight.

The news of Yeates iminent arrival was released by City chairman Adam Pearson who was speaking on Radio Humberside on Saturday.

‘We expect Yeates to be at the K.C on Monday for a medical with a view to signing him if all goes well.’ said Pearson.

Yeates would be the second youngster from Spurs that City will have signed after Dean Marney joined us from the London club.

He is a player City boss Phil Parkinson knows well after spending last season on loan at Parkys old club Colchester Utd. Whilst playing for the U’s he scored 5 league goals in 42 appearances for them as they won Promotion to the Championship.

He made his Spurs debut in May 2005 playing in their 2-0 defeat of Wolves, prior to joining Colchester he also had loan spells at Brighton & Swindon. He has also been capped 3 times for the Republic of Ireland U21’s.

A versatile forward, he can play up front or on the left wing, and could be the competition that Stuart Elliot needs.
