Alan Knill confirmed following Saturdays 1-1 draw with Chester City that Phil Jevons will join the club on Monday morning.  Jevo was at Gigg Lane today watching his new team mates.

After initially joining Huddersfield Town on loan from Bristol City in late November 2007, Phil made the move permanent on Thursday 10th January for an undisclosed fee.

Andy Ritchie had talked about bringing a fourth experienced striker to the Club to compete with Danny Cadamarteri, Andy Booth and Luke Beckett and Phil certainly fitted that bill; having scored goals at every Club he has played at throughout his career.

Starting off with the Everton youth system before moving to Grimsby Town for £250,000 in 2001, Phil has since played for Hull City and Yeovil Town before joining Bristol City.

As well as being a natural goalscorer who is proven at this level, Phil adds a lot more to the team with his link-up play and clever movement.

Phil will put pen to paper on Monday morning, and once signed the club will issue a further release with details of the deal along with squad number, plus hopefully an interview.
