Has been released. Think they said at the Q&A evening. He's not on the squad list anyway so he's gone.

I meant did he retire though? Seems a funny one when hes only 31..... just disappeared off the face of the Earth

Any chance he will re-appear when he is 33?

I know the exact reason why Michael Platt is no longer playing

Go on I'll ask. Spit it out then.

Welease Woger.

Shall we say he was forced to retire and not through injury

Rumour has it the same reason as Penky, what say you Roger?

Two Chinese men break into a distillery, one says to the other "is this whiskey?"

The other one replies "not a wisky as wobbing a bank"

Think those rumours started as he disappeared around the same time and in the same way as Penky. However Penky's drugs ban came about a few months ago now after he ran out of appeals at the end of a long appeals process. Don't know for sure how these things work but would imagine if Platt had been found guilty we'd have heard about it by now.

Yes Charlie

OMG





love it





proper groaner

ha ha....nice one Glow !

Your like load of bloody old Washerwomen

Good Afternoon Peawaap,it's always good to read your input on the Forum, I hope you are well?And look forward to seeing you at games in the near future.

............in a Chinese laundry?

Good day sir ,yes you will see me at the games in the coming season apart from the first three when I will be visiting my sister in the dark continent of Africa ,quite near to Wiresrand University from whence came our goal kicking fullback of the 60s Piet Botha , I will return for Bratfurt away

I've mentioned it before ,Piet Bothas was full back when I first started watching Leigh,I think he only played that one season, like me he had red hair, but he was a good goalkicker.Hope to see you at Bradford,have a safe journey.

Ihank's Charlie I remember a cup replay at Leeds in the 60s ,the Teams had drawn 7-7 at Leigh on the Saturday I had taken a half day off from the Cable works and went on the .L.U.T. Coach to Leeds for the replay ,with time running out and losing 16-12 Stan Owen ,had the ball kicked over the fullbacks yed ran past Him gathered the all and scored behind the posts for Botha to convert and win the match 17-16 , I liked him

Injury hit Platt's contract expired at the end of last season... He was not offered a new deal. Fact.

With centres Willie Tonga, Tom Armstrong and Greg Worthington all ahead of him IMO , first team chances would have been extremely limited unfortunately. Fair to say, Platt wasn't setting the world on fire

What happened to Ben Reynolds, did he ever find a club?

Thought he was pretty decent..... could have been better cover than Harper or Foster

Ben is on a season-long loan at Dewsbury, to get some Championship experience under his belt. He had limited opportunities last season, behind Ridyard and Brierley. Those opportunities would have been less this season, with Chase added into the mix.

Although, as stated on another thread Harold, Michael's contract was up to December 2016.

Was their an official announcement of what happened to him?

I was told there was something announced on the clubs official facebook site or sommat and linked to the shirt sponsor launch. The were comments qouted from Derek Beaumont stating that Platt had not been retained and wishing Michael the best of luck in the future. A correct decision given our recruitment in his position.

Now myself not being into this social media malarkey I am unable to verify it but I am advised social media is now all the rage that has the young ones glued to their mobile telephones all day and where the club now has to engage its younger fan base.
