After former manager Michael Skubala moved to Bristol City, Jez George of Lincoln City addressed concerns that Skubala might attempt to sign key players, such as 24-year-old Irish attacking midfielder Jack Moylan. George stated that Bristol City would be treated like any other club. He confirmed that there is no special agreement in place to prevent them from signing Lincoln players, adding that one is not needed. George explained that the club is protected by its players' contracts and the valuations it holds for them. He emphasized that any interested party, including Bristol City, must meet the club's valuation for Moylan. George added that Lincoln is not in a position where they need or want to sell, as they are looking to strengthen their squad. It was also reported that the club worked prior to the transfer window to secure key assets and to ensure no one was in the last year of their contract. Moylan joined Lincoln in January 2024 and is contracted until June 2030. In the 2025/2026 League One season, Moylan scored 11 goals and provided 7 assists in 31 appearances. The Irish international has 2 caps and 3 goals for his country and a current Transfermarkt market value of €800k.
