He joined Blackpool on loan from Huddersfield in February and went on to play eleven games for the Seasiders including their three play off games. His form was such that manager Simon Grayson has decided to make the move a permanent one with Rachubka signing a two year deal that will start at the beginning of next month.
We have to go back over twelve years to the time Craig Armstrong spent a month at Burnley, the left back then from Nottingham Forest deputising for Chris Vinnicombe and Wayne Dowell who were both out with long term injuries.
Armstrong, for whom Huddersfield once paid £750,000, has been at Cheltenham for the past two seasons. He was offered a new deal by former Burnley assistant manager John Ward but turned it down and has opted for a move to Gillingham, signing for ex-Burnley player and coach Ronnie Jepson.
Two seasons ago Keith Lowe spent over three months with the Clarets on loan from Wolves. Last season he too was with Cheltenham, enjoying two loan spells there, and his immediate future has already been mapped out and he will spend the entire 2007/08 season on loan at Port Vale.
Lowe has played most of his football on loan, and has played just twice for Wolves since December 2004. He'll now hope to establish himself in the Port Vale side over the next year which is the last of his current contract with Wolves.
