NFL off-season 2026 LIVE: Latest signings, trades, free agents and news ahead of 2026 season

Bristol City have announced that three players will leave the club this summer.

Mark Sykes, Sam Morsy and Harry Cornick will depart Ashton Gate upon the expiry of their contracts later this month.

Sykes played over 150 times across four seasons, Cornick played 68 times after joining in January 2023 and Morsy played 20 games after joining on a short-term deal in January.

Not many players get a big move after being relegated twice in their first two Premier League seasons. 

But Mateus Fernandes is still sought after...

Brentford have appointed Damien Duff as first team assistant coach.

The 47-year-old - who managed Shelbourne between November 2021 and June 2025 - will begin work later this month.

As a player, Duff won two Premier League titles with Chelsea and 100 Republic of Ireland caps.

Ive known Damien for a long time, said Bees head coach Keith Andrews.

Ive seen him up close throughout his coaching journey. Weve been on courses together and worked together as coaches with the Republic of Ireland national team.

Damien will bring experience, presence and a real level of detail to our coaching department. He will add to the great group we already have and Im very pleased that he is joining us.

Speaking on the Transfer Talk podcast, The Athletic's Dan Kilpatrick and ESPN's Sam Tighe discuss whether Spurs should cash-in on captain Cristian Romero this summer given his disappointing performances last season.

Latest from Your Site News' Keith Downie:

Kieran Trippier is considering ripping up his contract with Wolves following the sacking of Rob Edwards on Thursday. 

The 35-year-old is angry and feels betrayed by Wolves. Edwards being in charge was key to his decision to join the club last week. 

Trippier was shocked to learn the news on Thursday morning, from someone outside the club, just two days after he was paraded as Wolves marquee summer signing. 

Your Site News also understands that Edwards himself found out the news from a family member, and not the club. 

Trippier cancelled a holiday to undergo a medical and sign for Wolves this week.

Edwards was desperate to sign the defender and Raul Jimenez. Trippier chose Wolves over a number of other clubs. 

The defender has essentially signed a pre-contract so joins Wolves on July 1, when his contract at Newcastle ends. 

As a result of Edwards' sacking, hes currently considering his options.
