Crewe Alexandra have shelved plans to sign Northern Ireland international Colin Murdock from Hibernian. The Championship club were considering a loan until the end of the season for the defender, who is out of the first team picture at Easter Road. Murdock has not featured for Hibs in the past two months and that was a factor in Crewe boss Dario Gradi ditching his interest.
What happened?
Crewe Alexandra have opted against signing Northern Ireland international Colin Murdock from Hibernian. The 29-year-old defender has not featured for Hibs in the past two months and that was a factor in Crewe boss Dario Gradi ditching his interest.
Why it matters for Crewe
Crewe boss Dario Gradi admits he was tempted to sign the 29-year-old defender but felt it would have been too much of a risk. Gradi would much rather pay for someone who he will be totally sure about rather than take a gamble.
What comes next?
Crewe Alexandra are currently 22nd in the table and their next fixture is against Newport County on February 27, 2027. The club will have to decide on their transfer targets before the weekend as the window closes on international players.
