Duffy braced for Robins exit

Cheltenham striker Darryl Duffy expects to be finding a new club this summer after just three League Two starts last season.

The 29-year-old former Hull and Swansea forward cannot understand why his first-team chances were so limited after 15 goals in his first season with the club. And with manager Mark Yates undecided whether he will offer Duffy a new deal the forward just wants to be playing regularly. "If I get an offer elsewhere with more of a first-team chance then, of course, that will interest me more," he told the Gloucestershire Echo. "I started six games in all competitions last year and never in a million years did I imagine that would be the case after scoring 15 in my first season at Cheltenham. "It almost felt like a waste of a season and the manager may have felt I was lacking a spark, but I didn't have any chances to get that spark. "I need to speak to him (Yates) to find out exactly what his plans are and then I can make an informed decision. "After last season I want to play and I am not going to sit on the bench at Cheltenham for less money than I was on last year."
