Quote ="Betsy Bulls"Feeder Club
- he was out of contract end of 2023
- he had rejected an improved offer to extend
- he states he wants to go into a FT environment that we can’t offer him
He was clearly going at end of 2023, so they’ve agreed a deal to keep him as long as we would have had him anyway, they’ve allowed him to secure his future early and received what is reported to be a cracking fee for a 17yo who played two games last season! Reading the clubs statement and George jnr’s it was obvious to me he would have left at end of 2023 and he’s still off at end of 2023 and we’ve got some decent cash in the bank from it.'"
It's also factually correct that the club offered him an improved three-year deal to sign and stay at Odsal.
If he left at the end of 2023 or May 1st when he legally could sign for one of the Super League clubs chasing his signature, that £85k becomes £40k, so smart business in my opinion.
