Duo Find Clubs 

 

Greek First Division Club Ionikos Piraeus have signed former Walsall duo Danni Rodriguez and Herivelto until the end of the season.

The players were released after failing to make an impression at the Bescot. Their departures made way for new loan signings such as Gareth Ainsworth, Neil Emblen and Philip Javary.

Much was expected from Rodriguez who had joined from premiership Southampton, but he left the Bescot Stadium only having made 1 sub appearance on the opening day of the season.

As for Herivelto, he spent around 18 months at Walsall and despite glimpses of brilliance he was never able sustain a good run of form in the first team.

Although they were losing finalists in the Greek Cup final during the 2000/2001 season, they are the perennial strugglers of Greek football, and only finished 3rd from bottom last season.

Reaching the cup final was a major achievement for the Athens based club, whose local rivals include Olympiakos, Panathanikos, and AEK Athens who beat them 2-0 in the Cup Final.

Their stadium, the Dimitico Neapolis only holds 6000 fans, and they are hardly likely to gatecrash the upper half of the Greek Table.
