Randolph Joins Birmingham


Former Hereford United keeper Darren Randolph has joined Birmingham City.

It was reported earlier today on BN that Randolph was looking to return to England after three years in Scotland with Motherwell.

Randolph joined the Bulls on loan from Charlton in July 2008.

His spell at Edgar Street was notable for two reasons.

Firstly an excellent display against Leeds United at Elland Road in September. The Bulls lost 1-0 but it might have been different had Randolph not been in such good form.

Few expected Hereford to gain anything from the match, and so the case proved although Randolph tried his best throughout to keep the scores level. The 'keeper was on inspired form, with Leeds having some 19 shots on target.

Secondly refusing to play in an FA Cup match against Dagenham supposedly because Matt Murray was coming on-loan from Wolves.

What was said between Turner and Randolph on that Saturday may never be known. But the arrival of Wolves keeper Matt Murray had leaked out. Suffice it to say Randolph blotted his career by refusing to play and Samson was brought in with just two hours before the kick-off.

Graham Turner wasn't too pleased and sent him back to Charlton.

"Darren informed me that he had heard we were interested in another goalkeeper and refused to take part in the match," said Turner.
