Friday 25 July 2014 12:32, UK
Midfielder James Coppinger is set to depart Doncaster after a 10-year stay at Keepmoat Stadium.
The 33-year-old has revealed that Rovers are not able to offer him a new deal following the collapse of John Ryan and Louis Tomlinson's takeover and he now begins the search for a new club. Coppinger told the South Yorkshire Times: "I'm no longer at Doncaster Rovers. Without doubt I've played my last game for the club - not through my decision. "They [the owners] have made their decision and I respect that. I've not received an offer from them and I'm looking forward to a new challenge. "I can totally understand what's happened with the takeover and the chairman [John Ryan] and the owners. They want to go down a different route. "They don't want to spend the money on the players and I respect that decision. "I've got to look forward now. I cannot wait to get a new club now, I've still got a lot to offer."
