Montgomery has a total of 18 players out on loan and also plans to strip back the development squad
Nick Montgomery has confirmed that Adam Le Fondre is set to leave Hibs as he revealed his plans for a huge squad cull this summer.
Montgomery, who has a total of 18 players out on loan, also plans to strip back the development squad after claiming he would need four training pitches to accommodate everyone. On former Reading, Bolton and Sydney marksman Le Fondre, Montgomery said: I’ve known Adam a long time, his family live down south and he spent three or four months out with a knee injury. Alfie’s a big character. Those discussions have been that there likely won’t be a contract for him here next season.
He added: “I’ll sit down with Marsh at the end of the season and see what he’s thinking. That’s what the man deserves, he’s been absolutely outstanding for me this season. When I came in, people questioned whether he should be number one but if anyone tells me there’s been lots of better goalkeepers than David Marshall in the league, I’ll deny that. He’s been outstanding.”
“That’s the process we’re going through at the minute, trying to reduce the number of contracted players at the club – and bring in quality over quantity. That’s something we’ve all agreed on, as the direction of the club, moving forward. Ideally you would probably want 20-22 players, if you keep everyone fit.
