davieG Posted 13 July 2005 Share Posted 13 July 2005 I have the sad task of announcing the formal seperation of Mr Junior Lewis and Mr Peter Taylor both of the parish of Hull City and previously Leicester City etc.. Official Statement. Lewis to leave Taylor Hull boss Peter Taylor has confirmed that midfielder Junior Lewis will leave the club this summer. Lewis, 21, recently signed a new one-year contract at the KC Stadium but following a meeting with Taylor has decided to look for a new club. The former Leicester player scored twice in 31 league starts for the Tigers last season but will be playing his football elsewhere next term after Taylor warned him his first opportunities would be at a premium in the Championship. "I had a good chat with Junior and felt that with the midfield players we have in the building already, his first-team starts would have been limited," Taylor told the club's official website. "So, because of the respect I have for Junior as a professional, I needed to tell him that. He's accepted it, he's taken it on the chin, we've shaken hands and he now wants to go back down south and find a club. "I'm allowing that to happen and Junior could have been a poor professional and stayed here for a year, picked up his money and not played any matches. But that's not him. He's a very proud professional who wants to play football and I respect that decision." All donations to be sent to Leicester City Football Club as compensation for the complete F - up they made of their time there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
