Johnson says the do-Orr is not closed for defender

DESPITE rejecting a contract last week, Gary Johnson insists that Bradley Orr's Bristol City career is not over - but the decision is entirely out of his hands.

Johnson refuses to put pressure on one of the stalwarts of his team's recent successes but says that the 25-year-old being placed on the transfer list does not have to mean the end of his time with the club.

The boss has said that the door is still very much open for the defender to be reintroduced into the team, should he decide to stay. Johnson told the Bristol Evening Post,

"Although we've done what we've done, it's not too late for Bradley to change his mind.

"The door is never completely closed and, if he came to me and said he wanted to stay, then of course I'd listen."
