Five To Leave Imps

21st May 2007

Five players are to leave Lincoln City FC when their contracts expire at the end of June.

Twelve players were today sweating on their future, as John Schofield delivered his retained list. Of these twelve, only five have been released which is a little surprising. The five who have not been offered new contracts are Martin Gritton, Leon Mettam, Simon Rayner, Andy Toyne and Tom Wilkinson. According to sources in Devon, both Rayner and Gritton are being linked with a return to Torquay United, although the situation remains complex at Torquay due to recent boardroom and managerial changes.

The seven players who have been offered new deals are:

Ryan Amoo (offered 2 year contract)
Shane Clarke (offered 1 year contract)
Ayden Duffy (offered 1 year contract)
Paul Mayo (offered 1 year contract)
Ollie Ryan (offered 6 month contract)
Owain Warlow (offered 2 year contract)
Phil Watt (offered 1 year contract)

As yet, all seven have still to agree to their contracts, so further departures could happen.

In addition to the seven players, MASE scholar Jack Cotton has been offered a one year professional contract.
