Former Liverpool player David Mannix has signed for HamKam. The 21 year old was released from the english top club earlier in january and after a breif visit in Hamar it became clear that he wanted to play for HamKam.
The duration of the contract is set to the end of the norwegian 2009 season.
The midfielder has had a injury plagued history, but when he was released from Liverpool, he attracted several clubs including Burnley, Preston, Bristol City, Scunthorpe and Accrington Stanley.
The 21 year old played for Liverpool's U17 team at the young age of 13 and was compared with Steven Gerrard in many aspects. He impressed on the HamKam training ground during his stay and the fact that Mannix ended up signing for HamKam, is a huge boost for the club.

The Liverpool player David Mannix has agreed terms with HamKam. He'll arrive in Hamar on Wednesday and on Thursday he'll join his new teammates for his first trainingsession.
David has signed a straight forward three year contract.
This is a great day for the club, and the signing is showing the true ambitions for HamKam.
Background:
During his brief visit David Mannix showed qualities that could benefit HamKam.
David was impressed by the club, the managemant and the general setup at HamKam, but the personal conditions were a bit of a stumbling block when Mannix returned to England last friday. A medical was still completed and the parties seemed willing to close the gap and reach an agreement.
Scources originating from England suggested that a deal was likely to be completed, despite interest from other clubs.
The 21 year old is a central midfielder and has been regarded as a huge talent for years. A nasty knee injury put the young scouser's progress to a halt, but was earlier compared to Steven Gerrard.
Mannix has several youth international apperences, and has had a dominant role on the reserves team. His excellent passing, vision and tackling is said to be some of his outstanding skills.
Mannix contact with HamKam came through the local Hamar lad Allan Aasterud, which through his friendship with Liverpool scout Frank Sharps initiated the deal and later triggered Mannix interest for the city of Hamar and the club.

I'll be watching the training on Thursday, so I'll post a few pics later on if anyone is bothered.
