Peds, Castillo and Friend is far from light imo. Was time to let go with Seddon, had his chances.

Not a huge surprise. Worth noting that Blues now have Castillo on loan & Pedersen who's contract is up next summer. Could be all change at LB in a years time
Best of luck to Steve https://t.co/oZdhS6tPuK
A little gutted but have to be logical about this one.

Seddon has been messed around by us in the past & is more than ready to tackle the challenge of playing regular football.
He's nearer home, should be first choice & a good club too.
Wish him all the best. #BCFC https://t.co/IAoSpcF1qr
