Crawley Town withdraw offer to Dannie Bulman, Mat Sadler, Mike Jones and Jamie Proctor

They had until May 31 to accept the deals which are understood to be less pay than last year.

Proctor was the only player to actually turn his offer down but but none of the four have elected to accept them in the month-long time period allowed.

Boss John Gregory said: “The door is still open if any of the lads want to come back and talk to me but the ball is in the club’s court now.

“We’re disappointed but that’s football and we are working on other targets at the moment to strengthen the squad.

“It’s a waiting game which is very much like poker. They are waiting to see if they can get a better contract elsewhere of have the chance to go.

“If there is the possibility of another £400 or £1,000 per month, it makes quite a difference to a player.

“They risk the chance we could not wait and have gone and signed another player.”
