Roger Coombs, a.k.a. "Dodge", has been brought into the Preds fold by Brendy.

Roger's laidback approach to life and happy-go-lucky character belies the baby-faced assassin mindset that dictates his approach to football competitions. His bosses have often thought his long hours in the office have been work related but it is mostly poring over the latest stat news from Opta.

Roger's route through football has not been an easy path. "A long time Bournemouth FC fan" is both a difficult journey and a sentence that I have never had to type before. But Roger was not always the stat-driven, Dorset-loving competitor that he is today. Unlike Bournemouth FC, Roger would regularly pack out stadiums (well, village halls) during his life as one quarter of a semi-famous boy band. Whilst brushing off the fans and racking up the awards, Roger's career high came when he actually got to shake hands with H from Steps. He hasn't washed his lucky right hand since.
