Digby Loane to depart the Reds

Australia winger Digby Loane has revealed that he will leave the Reds at the end of the current season.

The 27-year-old, who was initially expected to depart the club in 2014, has claimed that 'business matters' have forced his hand.

"It's all a business matter, that's why I'm leaving. I had no choice," Loane told reporters at a press conference.

"I've been thinking about it for the last six or seven months. It started last year.

"Sadly, it has come to the stage where I have to look somewhere else so I can look after myself. I believe in loyalty but there's times when you can't trust anyone."

A host of clubs are reportedly monitoring proceedings.
