Robins keeper free to stay or go

Ilkeston have told keeper Ashley Timms that he is free to find another club.

The Evo-Stik NPL Premier Division club’s manager Kevin Wilson says the former Manchester city trainee is free to move on - either on loan or as a permanent move - but is also happy if he stays after recieving reassurances from the player that he'll still be fully committed to the cause at the New Manor ground.

Timms signed a one-year deal with the club in July 2012 and has shared the keeping duties with Chris Martin this season.

Wilson said: "It has been a bit of a luxury for me to have two such experienced goalkeepers and we cannot play them both. Ashley wants to be playing regularly, which I can well understand, so we will not stand in his way. But he has assured me that all the while he’s at Ilkeston FC, he’ll continue to do his best."
