Why for you into the Sunderlan soccer site(safc.com)there isn't Pelter into the team players profile?

As I understand it, he picked up a slight injury in a 2nd team outing for them while under trial, and the club (understandably) won't let him sign until he passes another medical.  So at the moment he isn't part of their squad.

I could be wrong though, i'm sure someone with more knowledge than me will come on and confirm/deny.

With the transfer window closed, and Pelter still apparently unsigned, has he missed the chance for this part of the season? or is he un-attached to any club at all currently, and if so, does that mean he can sign anytime?

cheers

my understanding is that he's not contracted to anyone else, therefore he can sign (hope I'm right, because the lad is clearly up for it)

Actually it was the clubs insurance company that put the brakes on the deal.

Apparently he actually passed his medical but the company wouldn't agree to cover him until the swelling in his ankle went down. That was a couple of weeks ago and haven't heard anything since.

But as he is not signed to a club (therefore not a transfer) he can still sign with Sunderland even though the window is closed.

Hopefully he will play fairly regularly and not just warm the bench or represent the reserves.

Sunderland have spent 6 million quid on their new central defensive partnership of  Paul McShane and Danny Higginbotham, that's on top of the million quid signing of Aberdeen captain Russell Anderson, and the presence of last year's player of the season Nyron Nosworthy...  I suspect that young Pelter will be playing a lot of reserve team football this season (Sunderland have been known to get over 30000 at reserve games in the past!), or going out on loan to a league side (perhaps Leeds or Charlton who have both been after him according to Wiki).
 
What can you tell me about the lad anyway?  My knowledge of New Zealand players isn't quite on a par with my English/Brasilian?

Just had a read of the Sky Sports website and they have confirmed the same.  But they have a nice picture attached.

Morning all,

On the back of the news that Pelter has signed for longer terms.  Here is a article from the Sunderland AFC Fanzine, A-Love-Supreme.  Enjoy.
