York City’s leading goalscorer Michael Rankine is considering a move to League Two Aldershot Town.
| “I love York and have enjoyed my time there but I had an offer in January from the club and turned it down” – Michael Rankine |
Rankine netted fourteen times last season but is out of contract at Bootham Crescent and a return to the Football League may be just too tempting for him to turn down.
The 26-year-old previously rejected a new deal with the Minstermen in January and manager Gary Mills was still to decide whether he is prepared to improve that offer.
“There is interest from Aldershot and that could be an option,” Rankine confirmed to The Press. “There are also a couple of other things out there for me but nothing massive at the moment. But whatever happens has to happen quickly for me because I have a family to look after.
“I love York and have enjoyed my time there but I had an offer in January from the club and turned it down because I didn`t think it was financially good enough for me and I`ve not been offered anything else as yet,” he added.
“I wish I could have played in the League for York but it wasn`t meant to be. I do think the club will get up though as they`ve got the right base of players there now.”
