Robert Eagle has returned to Leiston as a player-coach, subject to paperwork, and Conor McKendry's loan has come to an end.

In a short statement, Eagle said: "Due to new management and family reasons, I’ve decided to go back to Leiston. I have enjoyed my time at Lowestoft as I always have but having been offered a new role at Leiston, I’ve made the decision to go back."

Manager, Jamie Godbold, said: "Rob has U-turned and returned to Leiston as a player-coach under the new management there. It is a role Rob wanted to take up with Leiston for the geographical benefits to himself and also as that is the direction he wishes to take his football career long term."

McKendry has also seen his loan at Lowestoft Town come to an end following the arrival of Paul Lambert. Conor wanted the opportunity to impress the new Ipswich Town manager.

Godbold added: "I’d like to thank Conor for his time given to Lowestoft and thank Ipswich for the loan. Conor was undoubtedly a talented individual and I wish him all the very best."

Lowestoft Town would like to wish Robert and Conor all the best with their future careers.

The Trawlerboys face Needham Market in the Suffolk Premier Cup tonight (7.45pm KO) at The Amber Dew Events Stadium.

In terms of squad news, it is expected that Andrew Fisk, Shaun Bammant and Adam Smith are all in the management's plans to feature tonight, in addition to Matty Castellan who was cup-tied against Leiston in mid-week. Josh Curry, Jacek Zielonka and Travis Cole remain injured but the club are hopeful significant progress will be made over the next few weeks.
