Torquay pair transfer listed

Blue Square Premier side Torquay United have placed goalkeeper Simon Rayner and defender Chris Robertson on the transfer list at Plainmoor.

The Gulls recently took up the option of extending Robertson's stay for a further twelve months and they are expecting to receive a respectable fee for his services.

He made 39 appearances for Torquay following his arrival in March last year and managed to score two goals in the process.

"We have taken up the option we had on Chris," Torquay boss Paul Buckle told the Herald Express.

"He played a lot of games, high pressure games many of them, in all competitions last season, and he has a value.

"If somebody does want him, then they are going to have to pay for him."

Canadian-born goalkeeper Rayner has also been placed on the transfer list but the Gulls are not asking for a transfer fee.

Rayner made 42 appearances last term and has already been linked with a move to Blue Square Premier rivals Crawley Town.
