Canning sold to Curzon Ashton

By Tim Channon on May 25, 09 05:43 PM

I WOULD like to add my best wishes for the future to Dean Canning who the Seagulls have today (May 25) agreed to sell to Curzon Ashton for a four figure fee.
After struggling to find the net in the opening three months of the season, Deano really blossomed under the management of Neil Young and Gary Jones and after breaking his goals duck in a 3-0 win over Clitheroe on November 15, he went on to score 15 goals and and help create many more. I found him very amiable and enthusiastic and he always gave 100 per cent on the field, which undoubtedly helped him him win the supporters' Player of the Season award.
His two needless red cards against Durham and Newcastle Blue Star in the last four games of ther season, however, blotted his copybook somewhat and meant he would miss the very important opening five games of next season through suspension when the Bay will be anxious to get off to a good start.
I can understand Neil Young's decision to cash in on the player who has brought in a good fee which the manager says will allow team rebuilding elsewhere and Eddie Jebb to move to his more favoured position on the right wing - where hopefully he can start to show his best form.
This will also be a good move for Dean and his young family as Curzon Ashton is obviously much closer to his Salford home - although there is always the danger that the move could come back to bite should he play a major part in Curzon Ashton (this year's beaten play-off finalists) winning promotion ahead of the Seagulls!
Best of luck anyway Deano.
