Reported Foley signed until end of season. Interesting quotes from Goodwin as to why released Sam Foley.

“Sam was outstanding for us last season. This season he didn’t start as well as we would have liked and that’s why he came out of the team.

“He had a couple of really good games at centre-half, but we’ve got to be fair to the younger ones in the squad.

“We are a club that likes to promote from the academy and we need to make sure that pathway is clear

I just feel if I hang on to too may experienced players then it blocks that pathway for some of the younger ones


We should have been mirroring same approach with our academy players past years. Robbo never introduced promising youth who all left for pastures new whilst we preserved with Hypton, Seedorf, Long, White, Lamie, McGinley to name but a few. Accept only for remainder of season BUT my point ...we let our academy players leave as their pathway blocked by utter phish
