Second Tier - The Championship Football Podcast

The best free agents for Championship clubs

Ryan Dilks and Justin Peach reveal the best free agents on the market to Championship clubs.


Who’s the player who featured in almost every game as his side won promotion last season?


Who’s the striker who cost £25 million a few years ago and is still only 25?


Who’s the man with 3 England caps to his name?


And a current Scotland international who was surprised to hear he’d been released!


It’s the Second Tier.
