Esson Closes In On Century

Last updated : 06 October 2010 By Caleyjagsadmin

CALEY JAGS goalkeeper Ryan Esson is moving in on a century of games between the sticks for ICT.

The game with St Johnstone at Inverness on Saturday week with be big Ryan's 80th appearance for the club, and in that time he's had a highly creditable 29 clean sheets - his latest against former club Aberdeen on Saturday

The 30-year-old has been an excellent signing since being recruited in July 2008, and must surely be in contention for a Scotland call-up soon.

Caley Jags gaffer Terry Butcher told the official ICT website: "We brought in Jonny Tuffey from Partick Thistle and young Max Johnston from Newcastle United to strengthen our goalkeeing resources and they've both done well.

"But Ryan's been very hard to displace and is using his experience to play very solidly."
