Crewe Alexandra boss David Artell has reiterated that defenders Eddie Nolan and Olly Lancashire would be allowed to leave the club ahead of the conclusion of the summer transfer window.

The summer window concludes at 5pm tomorrow and Crewe are aiming to secure them regular football elsewhere on a temporary or permanent basis.

Both players are available on loan or permanent transfer after finding it difficult to force their way into Artell’s starting XI following the arrival of new signings, Omar Beckles and Donervon Daniels, in the summer.
