“I’m afraid I can’t confirm that,” he responded when questioned about an imminent announcement regarding Terland. “The intention was to begin discussions with the representatives. We were focused on recruitment leading up to the summer window.
“Now, we’re transitioning into the winter window, and we’ve just brought on board Matthew Lee as our new head of recruitment.
“Matthew will take charge of this process while Matt [Johnson] and the team assess which contracts we want to renew and develop a plan and structure accordingly.
“But no, I don’t expect things to be finalized quickly; the market is quite hectic. Agencies will reach out, and hopefully, we can come to an agreement soon enough.”
