Leeds Lose Interest In Lawrence

Last updated : 21 June 2004 By Kevin Markey
A brief statement from the club gave no reason for the decision, but Lawrence has a knee injury which has forced Sunderland to have a change of heart in the 22-year-old.

Lawrence admitted earlier this month that he wanted a move when his contract runs out at the end of June. He has already rejected a move to Crewe.

Cardiff and Rotherham are also reported to be interested in the player, who was The Stags top goalscorer last season with 22 goals as they just missed out on promotion from the Third Division via the Play-Offs to Huddersfield.
