"He is highly thought of at Millwall and everywhere he has gone - everyone speaks very highly about him," manager Micky Mellon told Tranmere's website., external

"Sid will be good to work with and we will help him to develop, so it is a win-win for everyone involved.

"Sid has played a lot of games for such a young man, more than 100 matches in the Championship, League One and League Two, which is a lot for someone of his age playing in the position that he does."​
