Jimmy Sugrue Set To For Shock Return To Former Club?

Sugrue who made a number of appearances in the Pink and Blue of Dulwich Hamlet after being brought in by Les Cleevely in his abortive attempt to avoid relegation is being linked with a shock return to his former club Aldershot Town. This is despite leaving the Hampshire club under something of a cloud following a tempestuous FA Trophy tie with local rivals Woking when the Shots faced disrepute charges and Sugrue saw red after what could best be described as an assault more suited to a Jackie Chan movie than the football field.
Shots boss George Borg has confirmed that Sugrue, 27, will be at Aldershot Town for pre season training. However, there has been no offer of a contract at this time. Talking to the Shots’ Clubcall Line, Borg said that Sugrue misses Aldershot Town very much. Borg had no hesitation in letting him come back for pre season training as it would be a chance to assess Jimmy's attitude and see how he is performing now. If Jimmy does well he may be offered a contract that will include a number of clauses. Borg said he hopes Sugrue has learnt from his previous mistakes, namely the incident against Woking last year. Apparently Sugrue reminds Borg of himself when younger because they made similar mistakes and Borg hopes that now Sugrue is a year older he may come back a better player and a better person. The door is open for a contract if Sugrue can prove his worth and at his age Borg feels he is worth a chance.
One overriding factor in all this is that Sugrue would not be returning to Aldershot Town for money, but purely because playing for Aldershot Town is all he wants.
