Penney: Wright deal will go through

Sun 03 Aug, 05:00 PM


Darlington manager Dave Penney has confirmed he expects striker Tommy Wright's move to Aberdeen to be completed once he regains full fitness.The fee, believed to be in the region of £100,000, has already been accepted by the Quakers but the transfer has been held up due to a reoccurrence of the 23-year-old's knee injury picked up in last season's play-off campaign.

Wright has already had a medical at the Scottish Premier League club and speaking after the club's official team photocall, Penney told The Northern Echo: "A fee has been agreed and he's agreed personal terms with Aberdeen, it's just a matter now of him getting fit.

"He's been up to Aberdeen to have part of the medical but we always knew his knee wouldn't pass a medical and Aberdeen were aware of the situation.

"Once his knee is fit he will have the rest of his medical and he'll be away."

He added: "It's a great chance for him to push his career on."
