Will be interesting to see if he has been brought in to play RB or CB?

Journey Man.
John Cofie was a journey man. Wisdom as a young player he was loaned out to 4 clubs in a five year period to get experience, then his next move was a permanent move to a club he stayed at for four years. This makes a journeyman now? Come on.

Good one…….how to greet a new player, who you most probably have never seen, and, certainly don’t know in any capacity that matters.

Been with 8 or 9 clubs, had trial with Salford and wasn't signed so in my opinion makes him a journey man, feel free to disagree.

According to that screenshot you sent he has been with 6 so yeah, I'll disagree. God forbid too that an unemployed football goes on trial to get a job.

You counted Derby twice. In that case will we also add D&D teams to our journey men players if you are counting his school boy days at Bradford? I also think you have counted Liverpool twice too.

Hasn't played in a full football season since 2020/21 ?

Seems a strange signing, but will wait to reserve judgement until he has played.

He was stabbed in Liverpool in 2020. As the league returned after lockdown he was visiting family and was attacked near the home. He came back into the Derby side the next season but wasn't the same physically or mentally. He went away and recovered and started getting back to football at the start of this year I think it was.

Taken from Liverpool Echo article about his Salford Trial

The right-back is seemingly hoping to return to the Football League and secure a deal with Salford, which would be the ninth club in his career. Wisdom is currently on trial with the League Two outfit, owned by Manchester United legends David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt.

So Bradford ending in Warrington makes (8).

In fairness they are probably counting his two trial matches at Birmingham in PL2 two years ago.

Any idea why Salford didn't give him a contract?

According to Transfermkt we are his 7th club & 4th permanent club. Whilst at Liverpool he had 4 different loan moves in 4 years before getting a permanent transfer to Derby where he stayed for 4yrs & made over 100 appearances I'm not exactly sure how that constitutes a journey man.

As Dee has already alluded to he never properly recovered from his stabbing & reading up on him he took some time out to get himself fit again & found his way back into football with Warrington which has given him his hunger back for full-time football

Left Warrington then had a full pre Season with Salford, who didn't think he was worth a contract(?)

Didn't Danny Seaborne arrive after some sort of attack as well?

I hope Boyce doesn't go as a result. It feels a bit like the time Kenny signed Kerrea Gilbert for Rovers.

I think he has a good pedigree and isn't a journeyman but the short term nature isn't inspiring particularly if it leads to more committed players leaving. At his best level, he ought to be miles above the LOI.

Brandywell is the safest place to be. Won't witness too many attacks there

If he's a different level to LOI, how come Salford and Warrington are the latest clubs he's been involved with?

His best is obviously long behind him.

But we'll see how he does. Let's hope he's match fit.
