I think he’s been brought in to give Colin a break, as well as competition. Sometimes it looks as if Colin is a bit mentally tired, and may need a rest. He’ll be a good keeper, but we don’t want to burn him out.This is what Lincoln said when signing him in the summer.
3 July 2024
Lincoln have signed former Birmingham City goalkeeper Zach Jeacock on a free transfer.
Jeacock made his senior Birmingham debut in a 1-0 Championship win over Brentford in September 2020.
His most recent appearance for Blues came in April 2022, after which he had loan spells with Salford and non-league Gloucester before being released earlier this year.
"We have signed Zach because we see him as a potential future No.1 goalkeeper," said director of football Jez George.
"Zach will train with us throughout pre-season and then we will find a loan that can provide him with a platform to play 40+ games at the best possible level."
Bit passive aggressive mate
He should have played better then.I suspect Collin is the more experienced keeper - looks like Zach has played a handful of games at this or higher level, and about 40 games for Gloucester. If I were Collin I'd be pretty ****ed off he got in starting 11 straight away
One that has been on our radar since the summer.
6' 3" so a good size and genuine competition for Collin, which hopefully will have the desired effect on the pair of them.
Yes - we have clearly been in for him since the summer, but Lincoln weren’t ready for the deal.Explains Hillson being a stop gap as well. When things don't quite make sense often means we don't have complete information
