Reid 4 years - slightly worried about his longevity but the market dictated the length of the contract and great to keep the wolves at bay.

Brown 3 years - been announced last year, gets an unfair bad wrap on the odd occasion.

Sidey 2 years - The Club/his management aren't sure whether he'll be able to enter elite or will remain a solid, great player so taking a cautious approach.

Brown and Reid are big signings. We've now got two thirds of a spine signed up to longish term deals: Brown, Reid, Grundy, Cloke.

That's big news because it's this kind of stability and quality that you build a side around. We've got a number of younger types developing along with these, but the spine really does need to be in place.
Well done boys!
