Injury hit Platt's contract expired at the end of last season... He was not offered a new deal. Fact.

With centres Willie Tonga, Tom Armstrong and Greg Worthington all ahead of him IMO , first team chances would have been extremely limited unfortunately. Fair to say, Platt wasn't setting the world on fire

What happened to Ben Reynolds, did he ever find a club?

Thought he was pretty decent..... could have been better cover than Harper or Foster

Ben is on a season-long loan at Dewsbury, to get some Championship experience under his belt. He had limited opportunities last season, behind Ridyard and Brierley. Those opportunities would have been less this season, with Chase added into the mix.

Although, as stated on another thread Harold, Michael's contract was up to December 2016.

Was their an official announcement of what happened to him?

I was told there was something announced on the clubs official facebook site or sommat and linked to the shirt sponsor launch. The were comments qouted from Derek Beaumont stating that Platt had not been retained and wishing Michael the best of luck in the future. A correct decision given our recruitment in his position.

Now myself not being into this social media malarkey I am unable to verify it but I am advised social media is now all the rage that has the young ones glued to their mobile telephones all day and where the club now has to engage its younger fan base.
