Nomad McIndoe on move

Jul 13 2007 By Paul Berry

MICHAEL McIndoe has linked up with his fourth club in little over a year after leaving Wolves for Bristol City.

The fleet-footed winger signed a three-year-contract with the Championship newcomers yesterday for an undisclosed fee, beleived to be around £400,000, in what Wolves boss Mick McCarthy described as a good deal for both parties.

And that gives McIndoe, who moved from Doncaster to Barnsley this time last year before arriving at Molineux in November, his fourth port of call in little over 12 months.

While the 27-year-old insisted he is delighted to have moved to City, it is understood his Molineux departure is down to his expectation of being handed a new contract this summer.

Sources claim that McIndoe, who joined Wolves for £250,000 when his initial loan was made permanent in January, believed he had been promised a new deal in the same way as Michael Kightly should he have impressed during last season.

However it is understood that offer was not forthcoming, with McCarthy and the Wolves’ staff understood to have been particularly unimpressed with the public show of dissent from McIndoe after his substitution during the second leg of the play-off semi final with Albion.

"City expressed an interest in Michael and he likewise was interested in them," was McCarthy’s public comment on the matter.

"We’ve signed Matt Jarvis and also have Daniel Jones fit so I was happy to let him go.
