Kadeem Harris completes Ukraine switch
Kadeem Harris could be the first Englishman to play in Ukrainian football after completing a shock move to Metalist Kharkiv.
The former Cardiff City winger left Sheffield Wednesday after his contract ended in the summer and has decided to move to eastern Europe in a surprise switch.
And, after his unveiling, he has spoken about the prospect of being an Englishman about to ply his trade in Ukraine.
"Yesterday we talked about it and I learned that I could become the first Englishman in the history of Ukrainian football," he told the club's website.
"This imposes a double responsibility on me, so I look forward to my debut even more, to take a step forward with the club and write history.
"I have a great family - a wife, two small children. My wife and I want to look around the city. We have already been to Gorky Park, I made a video there for my wife, this place made an excellent impression on my family.
"Now I feel very comfortable here and I hope that it will be the same for my family. It is necessary to find a school for children, perhaps they will not immediately live in Kharkov on a permanent basis.
"But, as soon as I get comfortable here, both my wife and children will immediately come here."

So far so good then, but a poor performance or two, and you watch the racist tone change towards him! I mean fair play to the boy for even having the balls, to take it on there!!
