New signing Drissa Diallo was in training with the Town squad for the first time today after returning from his wedding in Guinea. The 30-year-old was given a week off pre-season training in order to get married.

Manager Joe Royle told the club site that Diallo is a naturally athletic player: "I have been told that he is an excellent athlete and the running will be no problem for him.

"He's a strong, aggressive player on the pitch and the fitness side of the game looks like it comes naturally to him."

Diallo joined Town on a free transfer at the beginning of June after his short-term contract with Burnley ended.
