Circling sharks Boyd by George refusal

Peterborough United play maker, George Boyd, has rejected the offer of a contract extension and will be transfer listed in the summer.

Despite having a year left on his contract, the 25 year old has decided against agreeing new terms and it seems that his future lies away from London Road as a result.

The East Midlands side have seen 2 of their key players, Paul Taylor and now Boyd, turn down their overtures in recent days and are resigned to cash in on them when the transfer window opens.

Speaking to the club's official website, director of football, Barry Fry said: 'We have said before that any player who rejects a contract when they have just 12 months to run on their existing deal would be sold.

'It is good business sense to do that. To be fair to George, he has been a fantastic servant to this football club and we obviously wouldn't begrudge him a move because of that.

'However, as with other players, it has to be the right price for this football club.'

The Scot has made 42 appearances for Darren Ferguson's side this season, scoring 8 goals.
