Grant Holt gone.

Post by Tommylad » Fri Jul 20, 2018 3:59 pm

Barrow AFC & Grant Holt have mutually agreed to terminate his contract with immediate effect.

Grant rejoined the Bluebirds in November 2017, agreeing to take on a dual player/coach role under Adrian Pennock. Though Grant’s commitment to the club has always been strong, it was felt by both parties that the pressures of travel and the new strategic direction of the club meant that the time had come for Grant to seek a new challenge.

The club would like to thank Grant for his time back at the club, both for his professional attitude and his high standards on and off the pitch. What we have learned from his experiences at the highest levels of the football pyramid will help the club move on to even greater heights. We wish Grant the best of luck in the next stages of his career and look forward to welcoming him back very soon.


Another big earner off the books 👍

Grant clearly wasn't making it happen consistently enough on the field. Also and rightly so the new manager was allowed to bring in his own back room team, so inevitable really!!
Best of luck in whatever you choose next Grant. 👏 :scarf:

I remember Pennock joked about the wage Grant was on, so it should mean a fair bit is now available. Good news as he contributed zilch last season.

50 weeks of his contract left at 2k a week

There won't be any savings here. How much as it cost us to separate?

Can't see this freeing any money up....

All the best Grant....

Can't believe that he was on over £100,000 a year. Who the hell sanctioned that?

He wasn’t brilliant, none of them were... but that is uncalled for.
