Francis Jeffers heads Down Under after Blackpool snub
Sep 5 2010 by Alan Nixon, The People

FRANCIS JEFFERS will head to Australia after failing to convince Ian Holloway to hand him a contract at BLACKPOOL.

Jeffers, 29, is a free agent after being released by Sheffield Wednesday and hoped to prove he could still play in the Premier League.

However, a deal did not materialise and he has signed for Gold Coast United.

The Seasiders had been interested in former England keeper Richard Wright, but he is heading for the US to play for San Jose Earthquakes.

Holloway missed out on Preston midfielder Richard Chaplow after failing to agree terms.
