Peter Jackson has revealed the name of the left back he has been chasing, and its non other than ex Chelsea and Leicester player Frank Sinlcair.
Jacko revealed the news in the trust suite, and shortly later it broke on the clubs official website.
He confirmed not only was he talking to the experienced left back, but also that Sinclair had been at Sincil Bank today to thrash out a deal.
Sinclair started his club career with Chelsea, joining as an apprentice in April 1988 long before the Russin money come in. In 1990 he signed as a full time pro. He had a short loan spell at West Bromin the 1991/92 season.
He made his name at Chelsea over the next 8 years winning the FA Cup and League Cup, however in 1998 he opted for a move to Leicester City for a £2,000,000 fee.
He won a league cup with Leicester again, but also courted controversy along the way. Sinclair was fined two weeks wages by Leicester in September 2001 for his part in an incident at a Heathrow hotel. Sinclair, along with four Chelsea players, had gone on a five-hour drinking binge and had stripped off, swore and vomited.
After six years he moved on again, this time to Burnley where he became an intergral part of their side. He made numerous appearances across the defence, impressing throughout 2004-2007. This culminated in his appointment as club captain, a role he really seemed to enjoy.
In Feb 2007 he joined Huddersfield on an emergency loan and left Burnley for Huddersfield in May 2007. However he had just one season the Terriers before Stan Ternant released him last month.
He has appeared 28 times for Jamaica.
Sinclair does have a perchant for the odd own goal, a stigma that has been placed upon him by the media. He scored one high profile own goal in 2002 by lobbing his own keeper Ian Walker fom 40 yards, he managed to earn a tag as an 'own goal specialist' before then after consecutive own goals for Chelsea.
