Return Of Mellor Again!

Last updated : 20 December 2006 By @pnemad
Mellor signed from Liverpool for £500,000 before the transfer deadline in August but since then has not seen one minute of first team action due to problems with both knees.

He signed after having an operation earlier in the year knowing he would have to build up his fitness at Deepdale. In playing a few reserve games he was almost ready to join the first team back in October when he picked up an injury to his other knee!

Mellor is reckoned to be ready in Janaury and may well be the obvious replacement should Nugent be sold as most fans fear.
