The Verdict

This could turn out to be a shrewd bit of business by Portsmouth as Pack may benefit from dropping down a division to represent his boyhood club.

Certainly no stranger to life in League One, the midfielder has provided 10 direct goal contributions in 85 appearances at this level.

By using his wealth of experience to his advantage next season, there is no reason why Pack cannot become a key player for Portsmouth.

Providing that Pompey are able to back up this particular move by securing the services of some more fresh faces between now and the end of transfer window, they could potentially become legitimate contenders for promotion later this year.
