Town youngsters Richard Logan and Erdem Artun have been offered free transfers by manager Joe Royle. The Town boss says both players need to be pushing for first team football at this stage of their careers.

Royle says of the pair: "At their age, they're both 20, they should both be looking for regular reserve football and pressing for the first team. We wish them well, they are good types and we'll be circulating their names."

Logan, who still has two years left on his Town contract, made his debut for the Blues as a 16-year-old as a sub against Wolves back in the 1998/99 season.

Four more sub appearances followed over the course of the next five seasons, the latest in the Worthington Cup match against Middlesbrough earlier in the month.

In the last two seasons he has spent loan spells at Cambridge and Torquay scoring five times in his 19 league starts. In the summer George Burley made him available on a free but with apparently no takers.

Artun has made no impression on the first team at Portman Road but was a regular member of last season's Premier Reserve League (South) title-winning side.

This year he spent a loan spell at Conference side Doncaster Rovers where he made one start and one appearance as sub. His Town contract is up in June 2003.
