Simon Corney has given an update on suspected player movements before the season commences. He commented that his new players: returning winger Lee Croft; George Green; and Jake Cassidy are all looking well and expects great things from them. He also didn't rule out some fringe players being moved out to make way for some new defenders.
Corney hinted, “We intend to keep Liam Kelly. He is an integral part of our team. If anything were to happen, as with anyone, it would have to be right for the club and right for the player. But we will do everything we can to keep him here, and I believe he will stay. We are very pleased with the manager’s acquisitions; he has done his homework. He knew about Lee Croft already and we did very well to get George Green - there were five clubs in for him, including two in the Championship. George met Darren [Kelly] and after hearing about his plans went back to his agent and said he wanted to play for him.”
“Jake Cassidy is young and hungry and the type of player we are in the market for. We simply aren’t going to get a 25-goal striker on our budget, but in Jake we have a player capable of scoring a lot of goals, and he has a great work ethic. We also have one or two others up our sleeve.”
