 Andy Smith won the last of his 18 N Ireland caps in 2005 |
Portadown manager Ronnie McFall's move for former Northern Ireland striker Andy Smith could be scuppered because of the player's excessive wage demands. The Ports boss met with Smith two weeks ago and failed to reach agreement but the pair had further talks after the weekend CIS Cup win over Institute.
Smith's financial package still appears to be too much for the Ports but the matter remains in the melting pot.
The 26-year-old was released by Bristol City at the end of last season.
Smith joined Preston from Glentoran for �130,000 in 2004 but failed to make an impact at Deepdale.
The forward had loan spells with Stockport County, Cheltenham Town and Motherwell during his time at Preston.
Smith failed to score in a competitive game during an injury plagued three-year spell in England and Scotland.
The Lisburn man made 18 international appearances, the last coming against Germany two years ago.
