Add to that a FOUR year deal. Somebody somewhere obviously rated him very highly to throw that his way. Reminds me a bit of the Eddie Hutchinson situation. Possibly all done in desperation but a strange one nonetheless. We’ll probably never hear the full story of who/how/why sanctioned the deal.Hanson mustered more appearances than I thought, especially in seasons one and three.

If we’d signed him on a free and he was on modest Forde-style wages, we’d probably be more forgiving.
As it is, I’d argue he has been the worst signing we’ve made as part of ‘the model’. Overpaid in fee, overpaid in wages and no resale value at all. Thankfully we rarely misfire in the recruitment stakes but it’s hard to argue that this one just didn’t work.
Hope it works out for him elsewhere. A career in League 2 beckons.
I think even if he'd stayed fit he would still not have been good enough on the ball to fit our style, though he could have done well at another L1 or L2 club.Add to that a FOUR year deal.

He was very unlucky with injuries but all in all, a very poor signing by KR.

This just added to the weirdness of the whole thing. Like there had been an admin error and we'd signed the wrong player by mistake (possibly we thought we were getting 6ft 4 striker James Hanson)?Well goodbye to our 6’5” powerhouse.
What a huge amount of money we’ve apparently put away in wages. Not Jamie’s fault of cause - the offer was made, he’d have been mad not to take it, and he clearly tried his all to get fit and play well for the club.
Just not a good fit for our style of play but best of luck to him.
Thought that's what he did hereI’d be surprised if anyone took him on as a full time professional. He will most likely go and play part time somewhere.
