Joey Barton is hoping for a resolution to contract talks with Antony Evans in the next "seven to 10 days" but admits the midfielder has a number of suitors across the EFL.
Evans wasn’t included on Rovers’ retained list, which was published on Thursday, confirming the exits of 13 players, including Glenn Whelan, Cian Harries, Brett Pitman and Leon Clarke.
The 23-year-old is out of contract next month and talks over a new deal effectively began at the start of the year but Barton and Evans indicated a resolution, either way, wouldn’t take place until the end of the season when the Gas knew which division they’d be playing in.
