an ex-premiership goalie is coming tomorrow where is this mole you tell us about 101 not a very good one:wink:

I have no mole at the club. I know nothing that happens at the club. I haven't told anyone that our new keeper was scheduled to train with the boys tomorrow; though incidentally there's a good chance he won't!

Now let's have a debate about something. I've missed you. You pick the topic!

on my phone mate to much hassle will catch up soon but he is coming and playing on saturday

So will he or won't he train on Friday?

You do realise that Del told the local press all this information weeks ago despite members of the coaching staff admitting, "we're struggling for a keeper"?!

You exclusive boils down to, "a not very good keeper, that isn't Graeme Smith, is playing on Saturday and will likely sign for the season between now and then."

Tell us something we didn't know!

not struggling at all has a choice of 3 keepers plus one who has done well in pre-season i am not telling you anything you dont know already though

The four "signing targets" are all crap. None of them any better than Main/Smith/Tuffey/Gallacher etc.

As for ex-premiership, pfft! Stevenson is ex-Chelsea.

Playing career

Hoult began his career at Leicester City, where he was usually a reserve. During his time at the club he was sent on loan to Lincoln City twice, Kettering Town, Blackpool, where he did not make a first team appearance, Cheltenham Town, when they were playing non-league football, and Bolton Wanderers.

He signed for Derby County in the summer of 1995, joining for a fee of £200,000.[1] He went on to help them win promotion to the Premiership in 1996. Hoult remained with the club until January 2000, when he was loaned to Portsmouth. This transfer was made permanent two months later and he remained with the club until the following January, when he left to join West Bromwich Albion for £450,000.[2]

Hoult played a key role in helping West Brom win promotion to the Premiership in 2001–02, keeping a club record number of clean sheets and being named in the PFA Division One team of the year.[3] He was a regular for Albion in the Premiership and was watched by England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson,[4] but never made it into the national squad. Following Albion's relegation, Hoult remained a fixture in the side for the following season, as the club were promoted to the Premiership at the first attempt. In 2004 he was named as one of West Bromwich Albion's 16 greatest players, in a poll organised as part of the club's 125th anniversary celebrations.[5] He played for the majority of the 2004–05 season, as West Bromwich Albion escaped relegation. However, after being a regular in goal for West Brom for several seasons, Hoult lost his place at the start of the 2005–06 season due to a groin injury. Second choice to Chris Kirkland, who manager Bryan Robson had signed on a 12 month loan from Liverpool, Hoult was loaned to Nottingham Forest in September 2005.[6] However, he was recalled during his second month with the club after Kirkland sustained a rib injury.[7]

Following the club's relegation and Kirkland's return to Liverpool goalkeeping duties for the 2006–07 season were shared between Hoult and Pascal Zuberbühler until reports about his personal life surfaced in national newspapers. On 31 January 2007, Hoult was transferred to Stoke City on a free transfer after being sacked by West Brom.[8] He made his Stoke City debut on 14 August 2007 in a League Cup match away at Rochdale that finished 2–2 after extra time.[9] He was unable to prevent Rochdale from progressing 4–2 on penalties, despite saving one of the spot-kicks.[10] Hoult received a red card on his league debut for Stoke, in a match against Plymouth Argyle in December 2007.[11]

In February 2008 Hoult joined Notts County on loan until the end of the season, following an injury to regular keeper Kevin Pilkington.[12] He kept a clean sheet in the 0–0 draw away at Peterborough United in March, making the League Two Team of the Week.[13] He made 14 appearances for the club, keeping seven clean sheets and helping the club to avoid relegation.[14] He was released at the end of the 2007–08 season, following Stoke's promotion to the Premiership.[15] On 1 July 2008 Hoult returned to Notts County on a permanent basis, signing a two-year contract with the club.[14] He played the first 3 games of the 2009–10 season for Notts County, before being replaced by new signing Kasper Schmeichel for the home game against Dagenham & Redbridge. On 16 September 2009, Darlington manager Colin Todd signed Hoult on loan for a month as Todd felt that permanent Quakers keeper David Knight needed a break after a tough start to the season.[16] Todd was sacked during Hoult's loan and he was recalled by Notts County at the end of his month spell . He had played five games for Darlington.

On 10 May 2010 it was announced that he had been released by Notts County along with 7 other players.[17]
