We thank Joe Budd, Elliott Dugan and Josiah McKayle for all of their efforts!
The Club is sad to say goodbye to three Robins. Joe Budd, Elliott Dugan and Josiah McKayle will be leaving ahead of the Robins' squad returning for pre-season in a week's time.
All at the Club would like to thank the trio for their commitment and efforts whilst playing in Robins red and wish them well for the future. Midfielder, Joe Budd, in particular, has played a key role in the starting line-up during his two-year spell, with superb performances leading to him being voted Young Player of the Year during the 23-24 promotion season. No Frome player made more appearances (93) than the former Wales age-group player in the last two seasons.
Elliott Dugan arrived in BA11 from Connah's Quay in January this year and made 19 appearances, scoring one goal in the Somerset Premier Cup semi-final at Paulton. Josiah McKayle signed in August 2024 and made ten appearances from the bench in between loans at Slimbridge and Shepton Mallet.
On the latest squad update, Danny Greaves says, "Elliott joined us for the second half of the season, and I don't think we ever saw the best of him. He definitely has the ability - he just needs the right environment and conditions to get that out of him consistently. I wish him well.
"Josiah has so much potential, but, at his age, we agreed he just needs to get out and play week-in week-out.
"The situation with Buddy was much more complicated and difficult. All players were spoken to in the middle of April, and were given a deadline in May to confirm their intentions. Buddy wanted to continue to assess his options, and my job is to protect the club and build the best squad possible, so we had to move on. I cannot thank him enough for his efforts and wish him well in whatever he does next."
We wish the three players all the best with their future careers! Good luck and we look forward to welcoming you back to the terraces at BA11 soon!
