Mariners release for Butler
15 Oct 2008 - 11:30:55
Grimsby Town have released veteran striker Martin Butler from the remaining six months of his contract.
Butler, 34, joined the Mariners on loan 12 months ago before making the move permanent during the January transfer window.
However, he had asked to leave the League Two club last season after revealing his concern at the 350-mile round trip he was making from his Worcestershire home.
"It was a situation I inherited and needed addressing sooner rather than later," said newly-installed manager Mike Newell.
"Thankfully the chairman and the club have helped make it easy as I wanted to do it straight away."
