Field Mill for the time being, until someone comes in for him. source: Mansfield 103.2 news at 11.00am. ------------- Bingham Given Free Transfer - mansfieldtown.net Michael Bingham has been told that he can leave Field Mill on a free transfer. The news comes as Stuart Watkiss looks to strengthen his squad and needs to free up some finances to bring in new players. Watkiss is keen to state that 'Bings' has done nothing wrong and it would be a shame to see him go. "Bings is a great lad, he's brilliant to have around and a pleasure to manage. This situation is purely financial, Michael earns a considerable amount of money, though his first team appearances are very limited. For that reason I've come to the decision to let him go as it will free up cash for me to bring in a new much needed defender. Michael's well aware of the situation and has taken it well. We've put his name around lots of Division 2 and 3 clubs and we will help him as much as we can to move on in the professional game. "This news now means that there is a great opportunity for young Jason White. He's recently signed on with the club as a professional and has been on the bench for the two league games so far this season.Watkiss says, "We think a lot of Jason and he has a bright future in football. His wages are not as high as Michael's and with are wage structure we could allocate him and the defender that I want. With no disrespect to Jason, he's not yet at the stage that Michael is at, but he has bags of potential. It's a big opportunity for him now." |
