Plays up front for Falkirk having arrived in the summer on a one year deal and has 19 goals already this season. Worth taking a look at.

He sounds like a tourist resort in Egypt. Guess he'd make the step up the pyramid........

Sadly Championship defences are tougher than the likes of Annan Athletic.

Fox in the box finds space so easily in the red zone, he's like a ghost and a good finisher too - :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eWn9mAe ... ature=plcp

So he hasn't scored against Annan then? Given he's scored in cup games...

No, but your comment implies that the standard of opponent he would regularly face would be the same strength as Annan.

Aside from it being a folly judging on youtube highlights, I'd disagree.

Good finisher? Well, some nice headers, granted, but almost all were tap ins, with woeful defending in parts.

Thos clips show nothing to indicate he'd be capable of making the step up to Championship football. What's his all round play? What's his work ethic? Mentality?

I know nothing about the boy other than my gaffer is a Falkirk fan and he says he is far too good for the level he is at.

Kenny Miller started scoring goals at the division below before going onto become an international forward.

Robbie Earnshaw started with a few goals in SFL1.

Don Cowie was playing in that division not too long ago.

He may not be good enough, but he must be worth a look at.
