Micky Mellon reacts as Tranmere Rovers sign former Sheffield United star

Micky Mellon feels that Mark Duffy will be an “excellent addition” to his squad.

Rovers agreed a deadline day deal to sign Duffy, who won two promotions at Sheffield United, on a permanent contract until January 2022.

Experienced midfielder Duffy has been training with Tranmere throughout the summer, and Mellon is delighted to bring him to Prenton Park.

Mellon said: “Mark has been training with us and he has got himself into very good shape. He is in great physical condition; he is a very talented footballer and an excellent addition to the group.

“He oozes quality and class. He can keep hold of the ball and allow his teammates time to move into more dangerous positions because he is so good on the ball.

“Mark’s appetite to win and play well is second to none. He is a terrific professional and I am really excited to work with him.

“Mark brings a lot of strong qualities to our culture; he is an ultra-professional and he demands quality all the time. He really wants to play for Tranmere Rovers and perform for this club.”
