Cheltenham Town are expected to announce the departure of forward Lee Angol by mutual consent in the coming days.
The experienced forward has failed to leave a lasting impression at the League Two strugglers so far this season and now looks set to be a free agent once again.
Following their relegation from League One last season, Cheltenham have struggled to bounce back in the fourth tier and have a huge January transfer window on their hands.
Angol set for Cheltenham exit
As reported by journalist Jon Palmer, Cheltenham Town forward Lee Angol is set to be released by the League Two side in the coming days.
The two parties are expected to agree terms to cancel the remainder of his contract via mutual consent, allowing Angol to search for a new home for the second half of the season.
Angol joined Cheltenham last summer on a free transfer, penning a contract until the end of the 2025/26 League Two season.
How has he fared so far this season?
The 31-year-old hasn’t made an appearance for Cheltenham Town since early-October and was shown a red card during his final league outing for the club.
After leaving Morecambe at the end of last season, Angol joined the Robins and has gone on to register 11 appearances across all competitions, including nine in league competition.
However, he has failed to contribute to a goal or assist so far for Steve Cotterill’s side and is now set to search for his sixth club since leaving Bradford City during the 2022/23 season.
Is this the right call?
Ultimately, Cheltenham are struggling in League Two and face the real prospect of falling into a relegation battle this season if they don’t improve quickly.
Angol is an experienced EFL forward, but doesn’t appear to be in the managers plans, nor has he scored for the club this season.
Therefore, it would be difficult to argue against this being the correct decision – especially with the club likely wanting to save financially in order to spend bigger in January.
