Elliot Stroud: 'It looks like it was my last match'
Elliot Stroud has been reported to be close to a transfer to Hull, and likely played his last match for Mjällby against Slovan Bratislava in the CL qualifying round. - It looks like it was my last match, says Stroud in Sportbladets broadcast.
Before the match
Under the time, Elliot Stroud has played every match for Mjällby. He also started in Tuesday's 1-2 loss to Slovan Bratislava in the CL qualifying round. After the match, he confirmed that it was likely his last match for the club.
After the match
- So as it looks now, yes, it was it, says Stroud in Sportbladets broadcast.
Before the match, Stroud told Fotbollskanalen that he is close to Hull. In the mixed zone, he explained his feelings after the 1-2 loss. - It wasn't the ending we had hoped for, says Elliot Stroud.
Else
When asked if there's a signature left for a transfer, he responds: - Yes, there is. But most are in agreement on everything, so it's just a few formalities left.
Coach Karl Marius Aksum responds to what it would mean if Mjällby didn't have Stroud with the team: - We've got brutal player loss. It was brutal to lose Małachowski (Ludwig, to Basel) and Elliot now. It's tough loss, class players to have on those positions. So we'll hope that the club replaces them, says Aksum.
Elliot Stroud is noted for 27 goals and 14 assists in 109 matches with Mjällby.
