Town have confirmed the signing of keeper Paddy Kenny, as revealed by TWTD on Saturday.
The 36-year-old, who left Bolton at the end of a short-term contract yesterday, has signed a four-month deal as cover for Bartosz Bialkowski and Dean Gerken, who is currently sidelined for around a month with a hip injury.
Halifax-born Kenny, who will wear the number 35 shirt and goes into the squad for Wednesday’s game at Brighton, started his career with Bradford Park Avenue before moving on to Bury and Whitby Town (loan), prior to signing for Sheffield United, initially on loan, in 2002.
After eight years at Bramall Lane, Kenny joined QPR and Leeds before signing a short-term deal Bolton, for whom he failed to make an appearance, last summer.
In November the seven-times-capped Republic of Ireland international joined Oldham on loan, where he made four starts in a spell which ended earlier this month.
Meanwhile, AZ Alkmaar defender Wesley Hoedt, linked with the Blues earlier in the month by the Dutch press, is set to confirm a summer move to Lazio by signing a contract with the Italian side this week, according to Voetbal International.
Elsewhere, former Blues midfielder George O’Callaghan has been sacked by Malaysian Premier League side Sabah without taking charge of a competitive game.
O’Callaghan, 35, who signed El Hadji Diouf during his brief spell at the club, failed to turn up to pre-season training for almost a week and was dismissed.
