Championship news and rumours 14th May

Gavin Williams has probably finished his loan spell with Yeovil Town and returned to Bristol City. They sent him to Yeovil to get some game time and he’s certainly made good use of it.

Lewis Price has not been offered a new contract by Derby County after a disappointing loan spell at Brentford. So he’ll be looking for a new club.

Gareth Roberts could be the first Welsh transfer of the close season after agreeing a move from Doncaster Rovers to Derby County. The move is set to take place on 1st July. Gareth’s contract with Doncaster runs out in June and although they did offer him a new contract, Derby offered ‘superior terms’ which pretty much means the same as ‘more money’.

John Oster, also of Doncaster, has also been offered a new contract but he might actually accept it. He is ‘sorting something out’ with Doncaster at the moment or rather his agent is doing the sorting out.

Middlesbrough manager Gordon Strachan is looking for a new goalkeeper which could be bad news for Danny Coyne.

Middlesbrough’s Rhys Williams is in Australia’s World Cup squad. He’s so happy, it’s adorable. And it’s quite scary too that he came so close to playing for Wales when he loved Australia. He could so easily have been given a Wales cap.

Shaun MacDonald wasn’t sure he’d be offered a new contract at Swansea City at the end of the season. He’d spent most of the year at Yeovil Town and Swansea didn’t want to discuss new contracts until the end of the season. However they have offered him one – but Shaun isn’t sure whether he’ll take it, as there’s no guarantee of first-team football. Yeovil are interested in signing him permanently but it’s a case of whether he wants to play every week in League One or most likely not play in the Championship.
