EASTLEIGH boss Ian Baird has placed exciting teen prospect Sam Wilson on the transfer list due to “circumstances beyond my control”.
Baird had hoped that the 17-year-old prospect would have kept the older strikers at the club on their toes.
But, reluctantly, he has had to transfer-list the former Fulham trialist.”
Baird was reluctant to go into detail but said: “I’m extremely disappointed to have had to put Sam on the list.
“The lad wants to learn and is desperate to improve and I’m sure that, given time, he will progress. “Whatever anyone says, if he had come back in pre-season and continued to progress, he would have been part of the first-team squad.”
Chris Flood and Danny Smith are also on the transfer list and Baird has yet to sort out the future of former Farnborough midfielder Phil Appiah.
