Morgan Linked With Bury

10th May 2007

Lincoln City's Paul Morgan is today being linked with a shock move to Bury. The speculation has occurred as Bury yesterday appointed former Imps' boss Keith Alexander as their Director of Football. Player recruitment is among Alexander's brief, which is why he is also being linked to several ex-Lincoln City players.

Morgan is currently on the transfer list at Lincoln City, after submitting an application for "personal reasons". It later emerged that these personal reasons are Morgan's desire to return to the north-west as he wishes to undertake a physiotherapy course at a Manchester university. However, it remains unclear whether Morgan will join Bury, as Lincoln City FC are believed to want a fee for Morgan.

Among the other familiar names also linked with Bury are Peterborough United's Richard Butcher and Ben Futcher.

Two names who will not be linked, are current Imps Nat Brown and Scott Kerr. Both players have agreed new deals, which tie them to The Imps for two and one year respectively. Both players were among fifteen players whose current contract expires at the end of the season. The other thirteen are Ryan Amoo, Lee Beevers, Shane Clarke, Ayden Duffy, Martin Gritton, Paul Mayo, Leon Mettam, Simon Raynor, Ollie Ryan, Andy Toyne, Owain Warlow, Phil Watt and Tom Wilkinson.

Several of these players could be joining the approximate 500 other professionals who are seeking a new club. Already among this number is current Imps' loanee Peter Holmes, who has been released by his parent club Luton Town.

Meanwhile, Lincoln City's play-off semi-final at Bristol Rovers on Saturday is set to be an 11,500 sell-out.
