Fleetwood hails Mendy impact

Hatters: New signing Arnaud Mendy has been hailed by Town striker Stuart Fleetwood.

The on-loan Macclesfield man gave another hugely impressive display in the centre of midfield during Hatters’ 2-1 win at Forest Green Rovers on Saturday. Fleetwood: “Arnaud has come in and he’s a great lad. He’s always smiling and he has great presence.

“He gets his foot in and his head in, but he’s good on the ball as well. He gives the manager another option and that’s two wins out of two for him. He must be thinking he’s landed on his feet and we’re delighted to have him here.”

Boss Paul Buckle was also impressed with Mendy’s impact and praised the club for allowing him to strengthen in such a vital area.

He added: “I feel the work we’ve done in bringing Mendy in is a brilliant piece of work by the football club. I thought he was one of our better players. He offers us great strength in the middle. We have to keep looking at our squad though and seeing where we can improve.”
