Kenyan forward set to be released by English club

After spending a season with English Football League (EFL) League One side Morecambe FC, Kenyan forward Jonah Ayunga is set to be put up for sale by the club.

The 24-year-old forward is part of the 10 players available for transfer in the summer transfer window after the club confirmed its status as an English third-tier side following a relegation battle.

All the 10 players were bought in the last summer transfer window and they include Ayunga, Ryan Cooney, Ryan Delaney, Courtney Duffus, Wes McDonald, Ryan McLaughlin, Shane McLoughlin, Anthony O’Connor, and Jon Obika.

Morecambe head coach Derek Adams confirmed Arthur Gnahoua, Adam Smith and Aaron Wildig have been offered new deals with the club set to part ways with a number of players.

“Today we offered three players new contracts and have taken the option upon our young goalkeeper.

We have 14 players still under contract for next season, but we have made a decision to make some of them available to possibly find a new club if the right opportunity comes along,” said Adams.

Ayunga endured a rollercoaster season with Morecambe as he missed a number of games but registered six goals for the club that helped them in the relegation dogfight.

Adams confirmed that Jacob Bedeau (Burnley), Adam Phillips (Burnley), Trevor Carson (Dundee United) and Alfie McCalmont (Leeds United) will return to their parent clubs following the expiry of their loans.

“We have decided not to offer five players new terms and wish them well at their new clubs. We had four players on loan and they will return to their parent clubs after successful loan spells at Morecambe Football Club

We would like to place on record our thanks to all departing players for their efforts during their time with the club and wish them the very best in their future endeavors,” added Adams.
