Michael White

From the little that I have seen of him I was impressed.  He plays wide on the right wing I think, and he backs himself to take on defenders.  He's good at getting the crosses in too.  I figured he'll be going somewhere, good to see there's interest out there in him.

Sorry Michael, but I dont rate you. Gets the ball wide, puts his head down, dribbles, gets tackled.  Repeat process every time he gets the ball. Very physically weak, will fall over and dive at any given chance. Very selfish player.

"NEITHER HAVE SIGNED" - HULSE
John Hulse has confirmed to rhylfc.co.uk that neither Michael White or Gianluca Grazioli have signed for the club.
White, who is from Deganwy and has recently returned from New Zealand, has attracted interest from league clubs which is a factor in the non-signature just yet.
He also finds himself in a catch-22 situation as regulations state that a footballer can not play for more than three clubs in a year - White has already played for two clubs (one in Australia and one in New Zealand) so whichever club he does sign for is the club he will have to stay with for at least a season.
Both players featured in today's friendly against Ashton. Grazioli, who has played in the Italian Serie C, had a relatively quiet game while White scored a 30-yard screamer.

RHYL 2-0 ASHTON ATHLETIC
Goals from Phil Coffin and a long range screamer from Michael White gave Rhyl an easy victory.
More to follow.
Rhyl: Whitfield, Holt, Booth (Connolly 68'), White (M.Powell 74'), Horan (Graves 68'), Ruffer (Hunt 78'), Wilson, Grazioli (Garside 68'), Coffin (G.Powell 68'), Cameron, Jones
Sub not used: Roberts

DESPITE being without a number of key players Rhyl produced one of their best performances of the season at Plaskynaston Lane tonight.
Jimmy Kelly (knee problem), Carl Ruffer (illness) and Craig Jones (injured in warm-up) were all missing for the Lilywhites, but John Hulse's men were in a different class to a Druids outfit fielding ex-Rhyl heroes Timmy Edwards, Mark Powell and Chris McGinn.
It was McGinn who had the first clear chance on 23 minutes when he beat the Lilies offside trap and raced in on goal, but drove wide with his left foot.
In the 26th minute Druids keeper Carl Edwards produced a great double save, pushing a Chris Roberts shot on to the post and then smothering Andy Moran's follow-up.
The deadlock was broken on 31 minutes when Stuart Graves was fouled on the left and Mark Connolly's rocket free-kick from 30 yards flew into the net.
Lee Kendall had to be alert in the 39th minute to tip a deep Paul Mazzarella cross over the bar, but come the interval the visitors deservedly led 1-0.
McGinn went close to a leveller on the hour when he latched on to a wayward George Horan header but narrowly missed the target from 20 yards.
Rhyl then upped the ante and went 2-0 up on 65 minutes when Paul O'Neill volleyed home a Connolly free-kick from close range.
Two minutes later the Druids defence were in disarray on the edge of the box after Lee Hunt got a crucial touch to a Roberts delivery and Moran was left with the simplest of tasks to fire into an empty net.
Craig Garside nearly made it four when his back header from a Graves cross was cleared off the line by Aled Rowlands.
Druids nabbed a consolation in the 90th minute when a Waynne Phillips free-kick was converted at the back post by an unmarked Geraint Lewis.
But Rhyl fittingly had the last word when 86th minute substitute Chris Sharp latched on to a dreadful back pass and cheekily dummied keeper Edwards before stroking into a gaping goal.
Gifted New Zealander Michael White also made his Rhyl debut as an 89th minute replacement for Horan, but had no time to make any impact.

RHYL: Kendall, O'Neill, Roberts, Connolly, Horan (White 89), Holt, Wilson, Garside, Hunt (Cameron 85), Moran (Sharp 86), Graves
