Crusaders release Duggan & Quinn

Long-serving Celtic Crusaders Tony Duggan and Damian Quinn will leave the team at the end of the season.

"We are looking at shaking up the squad to improve performances and results," said club chairman Leighton Samuel.

Full-back Duggan, 30, with the Welsh club since their 2006 inception, is out of contract at the end of the year.

Stand-off Quinn, 28, has also been with the club for four years and is expected to continue his career in France next season along with Duggan.

"It's fair to say that our playing squad for 2010 will look significantly different to the one that has represented the club in its inaugural Super League season," said Samuel.

606: DEBATE

"The planning for next year starts right now.

"I'd like to put on record my thanks to both Tony and Damian who have been with Crusaders since 2006 when the club played its first ever game against Hemel Stags.

"It was only right and proper that players who helped this club reach the top flight were rewarded with the opportunity to play in Super League.

"Tony and Damian won't be the only two players to leave between now and the start of next season as we need to free up space in the squad so that we can add more players with Super League experience to our playing roster."
