Bray players transfer-list themselves
All Bray Wanderers’ professional players have transfer-listed themselves after failing to receive the assurances they wanted over their future.
The move comes a fortnight after the Irish club revealed that main backer Gerry Mulvey would no longer be providing financial support.
In a statement released through the Professional Footballers’ Association of Ireland, the players said: “A meeting was arranged last night between the players, Bray Wanderers officials and the PFA Ireland.
“At this meeting, we reiterated our basic request for details of any new investment and assurance that the investment will be secured. None was provided.
“In those circumstances, and in view of the fact that the current transfer window closes on 31st July, we as players feel we must be afforded the opportunity to gain secure employment elsewhere, and it is with regret that all players are now placing themselves on the transfer list with immediate effect.”
