Tranmere Rovers sign Grenadian striker

ENGLAND, September 8, 2009 - Tranmere have today completed the signing of Grenada international Kithson Bain until June 2010.

The Club won an appeal for a work permit for Bain earlier this summer after the striker impressed Manager John Barnes while on international duty.

The 27-year old is an international team mate of Blackburn Rovers striker Jason Roberts and the first Grenada based player ever to move overseas.

Barnes said: "Kithson is a strong, quick striker and I'm pleased to be able to bring him to the Club.

"He was the top scorer in the Caribbean Cup with six goals when I was manager of Jamaica and he carried the Grenada side.

"He will add another dimension to our attacking options and I look forward to working with him."

Kithson will be available for Saturday's home game against Walsall, kick off 3pm.
