TOWN ARE FEELING LOWE AS FIVE LEAVE

LOWESTOFT TOWN have lost five players from last season’s squad – and the disappointed Suffolk club have hit out at departing defender Frazer Blake-Tracy (pictured below) for performing a late U-turn. Left-back BlakeTracy joined Lowestoft last summer from Dereham but he has opted to leave after just one season and has signed for King’s Lynn Town. In announcing the departures, the Ryman Premier club claimed the young defender had originally agreed to stay at Crown Meadow before putting pen to paper elsewhere. A club statement read: “After a month of negotiations the club finally agreed terms with Frazer BlakeTracy and Frazer had agreed to sign for another season. “After agreeing terms with us, Frazer then ignored all requests and correspondence from the club to meet and sign his new contract. “We were later notified that during that time Frazer had met and agreed a one-year term with King’s Lynn.” Blake-Tracy, however, isn’t the only Lowestoft player making the move across East Anglia. Striker Ross Jarvis has also signed for Southern Premier side King’s Lynn, agreeing a two-year deal. The club added: “Ryan was offered a new contract within the club’s current budget. “Understandably this was too much of a drop in income for him and his young family.” Also leaving the Trawlerboys are Jamie Forshaw, goalkeeper Jake Jessup and Leiston-bound Dominic Docherty. On the plus side for Lowestoft boss Ady Gallagher, he has made Hartlepool United keeper Ben Dudzinski, 21, his first summer signing. Gallagher said: “I’m delighted to have signed a young and hungry keeper with League experience. “Ben wants to establish himself and gain first-team football.”
