Iron agree striker fee

Scunthorpe United have agreed a fee with Leeds United for Andrew Keogh.

The Republic of Ireland Under-19 ace spent two months on loan with The Iron earlier this season and netted twice in 12 appearances.

Keogh, who is currently at Bury, will speak to the club in the coming days, but it is unlikely he will feature against Kidderminster this weekend.

Iron boss Brian Laws confirmed a fee has been agreed, but that he is not getting too excited about landing the striker until the transfer is completed.

"I can confirm that we have agreed a fee with Leeds United for Andy Keogh and we will be holding negotiations with the player over the next few days," said Laws.

"But I don't envisage the deal being completed before Saturday's match simply because he is away on an international call-up over the weekend.

"We don't want to rush anything either, we have had a bid accepted and we will now take it from there. Nothing is guaranteed yet."
