retired I think edit - yep, spent most of his post Rovers career with Oldham & then moved to Port Vale before retiring in the summer https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jayson-leutwiler/profil/spieler/52598

One would hazard a guess that he was under instructions to reveal that info, as it means that there is no possibility of reaching 5 competitive caps before the transfer window, so it gives them another excuse as to why there is next to no transfer budget come January

Also true, but it was Mowbray dropping him that made him want to leave and eventually move on to Brentford. But then again we did use the money from that sale to buy the goal scoring colossus that was Sam Gallagher, so it all ended well 😉

Don't forget the dark days when he dropped Raya for Leutwiler

£3M up front, £5M from the sell on, and there was another add on when he made his debut for Spain, not sure what that amount was,but pretty safe to say it was over £9M in total

and score the winning penalty in the sudden death shootout of a semi final contested in the Southern hemisphere

Of the 3 players who were loaned out to this level last week, 2 started games yesterday, one playing 75 minutes, 1 playing the full game, and the other came off the bench after an hour

Starts this weekend for O'Riordan - lost 2-1 - played the full game - 5 Okoronkwo ghosted in to beat him for the opener. Some good forays forward when there was no other option on. Clearances and tackles aplenty. Fired over right at the very death Wood - lost 1-0 - played the full game Boggan - won 3-2 - replaced after 75 minutes whilst 2-1 up Wolsoncroft - lost 4-1 - played the full game On the bench Barrett - won 3-2 - remained on the bench throughout Edmondson - won 1-0 - Isuzu Cup, likely rested - came on after 64 minutes with the score at 0-0 Sergeant - drew 1-1 - came on at 60 minutes whilst 1-0 down - I caught the tail end of the commentary on their free online radio, they sounded impressed with Sergeant, although he was apparently offside quite a bit Not involved in matchday squad Olson & O'Grady-Macken - drew 0-0 Farkas - lost 1-0 Midweek game Boggan may features again on Tuesday

They definitely reinvest money earned from sales. Not sure that their current squad shouldn't be where it is, They have done similar to Rovers and replaced those who have left with players without Championship experience from overseas, Albeit at a much higher price (Harry Darling being the exception and their equivalent of Sean McLoughlin in terms of someone with Championship knowhow). Sergeant is a stand out player at this level, but many of their new signings look substandard/inexperienced at this level, and Medic/Duffy in their central defence make Pickering look like Usain Bolt

Tyjon & Montgomery possibly play later today https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/november/15/igor-and-kristi-set-for-action/

Is now a 2nd year scholar, so will (or already has) turn 18 at some point between 1st Sept 25 & 31st Aug 26

I believe that is exactly the case, they can also still play for our U21s/U18s during this period too

I do broadly agree re standard, although Solomon Honors loan last season in the 8th tier did seem to do him a lot of good. From memory, that started as a few weeks loan, and was extended a few times until it ended up as a full season loan. Maybe because he is a goalkeeper rather than an outfield player, that drop in standard matters less?

Blake Wolsoncroft also, ... "until the beginning of next month"
