Grimsby Town striker Martin Butler has reiterated his desire to leave the club.
The 33-year-old is tired of the long journey he has to make from his Worcester home to Blundell Park.
Chairman John Fenty said: "Martin communicated to the club last week that the travelling was getting him down, stating that by the time he had finished travelling to the ground it was affecting his game.
"You might have noticed that at the beginning of the season Martin was particularly bright and he'd made the extra effort to stop over.
"Martin is obligated to turn up for at least two training sessions per week, subject to the manager's request, and he's finding this difficult to do.
"We spoke to Martin about stopping over and different forms of transport, but at this moment in time, Martin doesn't see that there's a solution to his problem.
"Of course this is affecting Grimsby Town Football Club and we're working on how to resolve this as we speak."
Butlet has scored six times in 27 games during his time with the Mariners.
