Trollope places trio up for sale

Lewis Haldane
Haldane has made 176 appearances for Bristol Rovers

Bristol Rovers have put strikers Lewis Haldane, Sean Rigg and Andy Williams on the transfer list.

Haldane, 22, made his first team debut in 2003, but has been out of favour in the past 12 months and spent the entire season on loan at Oxford United.

Fellow 22-year-olds Williams and Rigg failed to start a game for Rovers this season, although they did figure at times from the bench.

The trio all have a year remaining on their contracts.

Williams, a £100,000 signing from Hereford in July 2007, found goals hard to come by last season and returned to Edgar Street on a loan deal that ran from September to March.

Rigg was farmed out to Grays Athletic earlier in the season after failing to break into Paul Trollope's first-team plans.

The decision to off-load the trio comes after Craig Disley, Craig Hinton, Ryan Green and Joe Jacobson were told they would not be offered new deals and signals first-team coach Trollope's intention to freshen up his squad after a mid-table finish.
