Corbett Joins Bull For A Month


Andy Corbett has joined the Bulls from Burton on a month long loan. He could take some part in this afternoon's match at Kidderminster.

A short profile from Wikipedia:

Andrew John Corbett (born February 20, 1982 in Worcester, England) is an English footballer, currently playing for Burton Albion. He was part of the Kidderminster Harriers youth system but found first team opportunities limited to seven appearances in the Football League, and moved to Solihull Borough. At Solihull he was a prolific striker and earned a move to Nuneaton Borough. After just a few months at Nuneaton, Burton Albion secured his signature for a small fee. Ironically Corbett joined the Brewers as a striker but has found more success at right back and right midfield, winning the clubs player of the season award in 2005. He is noted more for his hard working ethic than his ability with a football.

Corbett was part of the 2008/2009 Conference National winning squad and signed a new deal with the club in May 2009.
 
Brewers boss Gary Rowett told their official site: 'We felt this was a good opportunity for Andy to get some games, I think Hereford have around eight games in January. It's really a case that this will sharpen him up and Hereford were very keen to take him.'
