Zach Clough Rejects Transfer To Bristol City....

[campo21]

Bristol City's pursuit of Zach Clough has come to an end, after the Bolton forward rejected a move to Ashton Gate in order to remain with Wanderers.

Clough was pulled out of the Trotters squad ahead of Saturday's FA Cup third round tie at Eastleigh after the club accepted an offer of around £2million, rising to £3million, for the 20-year-old.

He returned to the side for Tuesday's trip to Sheffield Wednesday and made a late appearance from the substitutes' bench, with manager Neil Lennon revealing a minor hip injury had prevented him from earning back a starting place.

Clough travelled to Bristol for talks over the weekend and is said to have been impressed with the potential of the Robins, but, as the pace of the move began to stall, it became clear that the player wanted to remain at Macron Stadium.

Wanderers are due at the High Court on January 18, where they face a winding-up order from HM Revenue & Customs over unpaid tax bills, and it was anticipated that money claimed

Well done Zach good decision why would he want to go to Bristol City!

I wonder where he will end up, playing for another Championship club or will a Premier League club snap him up?

Hope he stays with us. We could build our Div 1 team around Amos,Wheater,Davies and Clough

JC I don't see that there's any chance Clough stays with us. The club accepted Bristol City's paltry offer remember; I assume Clough turned them down because they're not doing much better than we are!
