What has happened.....

Post by OtmoorYellow »

...to these players?

Manny Agboola is OOC on 30/6/19. No news of a new contract, but equally no news of him being released. Ditto Armani Little, Owen James, Niall Clayton, Harry McDonnell, Ryan Crooks & Jack Stevens (striker).

Also Tony McMahon. I know his Scunny deal fell through, but anyone know if he is staying and going out on loan oop norf, or if we might see him in yellow once more?

TIA

As far as I know:
Agboola has been released
Little was informed he wasnt being kept on a while back, and has now moved elsewhere
Owen James is still with us - he was given a pro deal a months ago to the summer of 2020. He graduated from the U18s this summer, so will be in the U23s next season.
Clayton was also released
Ryan Crooks graduated from the U18s this summer and has been given a pro deal until January to prove himself after being injured for much of last season.
Jack Stevens II still has another year before graduating from the U18s.

The only one of the kids I have not heard anything about is HArry McDonnell, except that he was due to graduate from the U18s this summer, so given the absence of any communication indicating that he has been offered the opportunity to stay at the club, I would assume that he sits in the 'released' bucket.

For reference, the following all have a year left in the U18s before graduation, but those with a (*) have already signed pro deals to the summer of 2021: Spasov (*), Lopes (*), Elechi (*) Nico Jones (* this week), Max Harris, MAx Evans, Viktor Milton, Leon chambers-Parillion, Jack Stevens and Jordan Edwards.
Meanwhile those deals in the U23s (and too old for the U18s) are: Owen James (Summer 20), Kyle Lofthouse (Summer 20), Aaron McCReadie (Summer 20), Ryan Crooks (Jan 20), Aaron Heap (Jan 20) plus the new arrivals Kevin Berkoe, Sam Allardyce Jr & Yoav Sade.
