SHERBON SET TO MOVE ON
RHYL midfielder Luke Sherbon is set to quit the club before the weekend's opening fixture against Carmarthen Town.
Sherbon, who arrived at Belle Vue in January, was regarded as one of the Lilywhites' finest prospects, but player manager Greg Strong said it was in the player's best interests to move on.
"Like Lee Kendall, the travelling (in Sherbon's case to and from Aberystwyth) was getting too much for him, so with that and a few personal issues, it's been decided it's for the best for him to move back nearer home," added Strong.
The Rhyl player boss had two quality signings lined up for today, but sadly they fell through.
"One player was actually on his way to sign for us on loan, but a League Two club stepped in at the last moment. I'm gutted but you can't blame the lad for taking the opportunity.
"I'm still doing everything I can to bring in new faces."
Rhyl have, however, signed young defender Shaun Dowling, a player released by Chester City who was linked with the Lilywhites earlier in the season.

Another blow - is Sherbon the 11th to leave now? I did receive a text last Saturday from a friend who lives in Aberystwyth saying that Sherbon had signed for his home team club. Needless to say I decided to ignore it as I'd heard that they were in the hunt for Reed as he'd been there before, and I thought my mate had got his wires crossed. Well, we'll just have to wait to see what transpires.
I must say that the lack of communication from the club is rather frustrating, to say the least, surely they could issue a communique that spells out what their thinking is to try to quell some of the rumours.
Indeed, Sherbon is the 11th player to leave Rhyl this summer.
Departures: Lee Kendall, Chris Roberts, Paul O'Neill, Gareth Wilson, Carl Owen, Michael Jones, Josh Johnson, Jamie Reed, Danny Williams, Craig Jones, Luke Sherbon.
