Blimey, I am slightly surprised by that but fair play to the bloke.
Free up some needed wages for the first team.

UPDATE: Apparently... (not confirmed) Roberts is in talks with STFC to cancel his contract, it is nearly finalised and if it is he would leave at the end of September. The doctors however have NOT said his injury definitely means he cannot play again.

Apparently it is in the Western Daily Press I dont have the paper but someone very reliable (up to you to believe me) says it is. Can't see it online though. so i'll see what I can find. |

This is true, it's on the backpage of the Western Daily Press (along with a picture from Saturday's victory). The article says that negotiations have been going on for a while now, and doesn't suggest that it's the injury that has forced the decision. Maybe he has just fallen out of love with football? It would explain why he wasn't in the team photo.
If he doesn't feel he can play anymore then fair play for not just seeing out his contract. The guy has given us some great solo moments and in my opinion is one of the most talented players in our squad (as well as the most frustrating!). I hope he can over-come his demons.

t'would be a shame but no big loss. the likes of marshall are the players we ought to be looking at nowadays.
i hope he finds himself a nice club back in wales, type of player who'd relish being a big fish in a small pond
