Seven Bristol Rovers<\/a> players were made available for transfer or loan in May, including Luke Southwood, Taylor Moore, Isaac Hutchinson, Josh McEachran, Kamil Conteh, Macauley Southam-Hales, and Jed Ward.<\/p>\n The latter departed to join Walsall on Friday, while Conteh signed for last season’s League One champions, Bromley, on Thursday.<\/p>\n So, what is the latest with the other five players? We’ve taken a look at the situation for each, with Steve Evans providing clarity on a couple of their futures in an interview with BBC Radio Bristol<\/a> on Friday, July 10.<\/p>\n Luke Southwood<\/p>\n Speaking to BBC Radio Bristol on July 10, Evans said: “Luke continues his conversations with two or three different clubs. But again, up until yesterday, Jed Ward was in the building and doing everything well.<\/p>\n “Luke has been in this morning and trained very well, and unless something immediate happens, which is unlikely in the next 24 hours, he’ll play a part in the game at Salisbury tomorrow.”<\/p>\n He added: “We would keep Luke Southwood every day of the week, as we would have kept Jed Ward, and we were under no pressure to move those two goalkeepers out.<\/p>\n “Both were told that if they decided they wanted to stay and fight Brad Young, they could stay and take that fight on, and it was up to them.<\/p>\n “So there was no pressure on the budget or pressure on me. In fact, I think there were conversations at the board level where it was, ‘Shall we keep them?'”.<\/p>\n Taylor Moore<\/p>\n Unknown<\/p>\n Isaac Hutchinson<\/p>\n Speaking to BBC Radio Bristol on July 10, Evans said: “I think with Isaac, it’s very simple. Two or three bids have come in, and two or three bids have been turned down by our board. And it’s simple because they’ve not met the valuation placed.<\/p>\n “There were recommendations by me, but the Chairman sets the value ultimately with his fellow directors. They’ve set the value. Those interested clubs have been made aware of that, as are the people who look after Isaac.<\/p>\n “They’ve not met that value, he goes nowhere. We’ll treat him as if he’s going to be here and part of our plans. If a club triggers the valuation, I’ve given my word to Isaac on behalf of the board that if that valuation is met, he will be given permission to go and have his own personal chats.<\/p>\n “But, at the minute, he’s in the building, and it’s looking like he could be with us.”<\/p>\n Bristol Rovers have Steve Evans now in charge as they look to battle push up the League Two table – and you won’t miss a beat with our free newsletter.<\/p>\n All the latest news, views, interviews, gossip and analysis concerning the Gas, delivered straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n It’s completely free and you can sign up HERE<\/a><\/p>\n Josh McEachran<\/p>\n Unknown<\/p>\n Kamil Conteh<\/p>\n Joined Bromley FC on Thursday, July 9<\/p>\n Macauley Southam-Hales<\/p>\n Speaking to BBC Radio Bristol on July 10, Evans said: “I had a conversation with our Chairman and board regarding Macauley in a board meeting earlier this week, and I said there’s no reason why, with the position that Macauley has come back in, the state of play, his fitness levels are improving every day.<\/p>\n “So, we’re not rushing to say Macauley has to leave the football club. Again, I have a number of options in that area if we wish to go into the transfer market, but Macauley’s come back in a shape that says I deserve to be given a few weeks in pre-season to show his fitness levels, or where they should be. But so far, so good for Macca.”<\/p>\n Join Bristol Rovers Live’s Whatsapp community for all the biggest Bristol Rovers stories sent straight to your phone<\/strong><\/p>\n Bristol Rovers Live<\/a> is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join our community.<\/p>\n Through the app, we\u2019ll send the Bristol Rovers news, live match coverage, team news, transfers, fixtures, analysis and more straight to your phone.<\/p>\n To join our community you need to already have WhatsApp. All you need to do is click this link and select \u2018Join Community\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Bristol Live<\/a> team.<\/p>\n We also treat community members to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners.
