On the flipside, if he excels we could lose him for nothing midway through the season.
It does make sense though given his injury record, and if he gets a consistent run of games then I'm sure we'll look to extend the contract as soon as possible.
The contract gets us through to the January transfer window.
I've been impressed with him, there's no doubt he's a very good player, it's just his injury free record isn't the best.
He's like a taller Matt Doumbe.
