KING'S Lynn have made Kevin Doolan available for transfer after failing to agree a deal for 2011 with the Australian star.The Stars say they are unable to accommodate the wage demands of their toprider, who will be fully fit for next season after missing the closing months of this year's campaign.Promoter Buster Chapman said: "Kevin insisted he needed a pay rise which equated to around a 30% increase over the whole season. He said it was because of his increasing costs but the club could simply not afford to meet that request, especially with such an unsteady economy and the fact I would like to see our admission prices remain the same for next season. "So unfortunately we had to shake hands and part ways. In view of us not being able to afford Kevin next season the chances are we will probably never be able to afford him again so we have decided that if any other club want him it will be on a full transfer only."

EDINBURGH star Ryan Fisher expects to move back up to the Elite League next year.The American has enjoyed three hugely successful seasons with the Monarchs,helping them to two Premier League titles, and now feels he can make a big impact in the top-flight.Fisher said: "I definitely feel this is the right time to move up. I would be on a 4.8 average and I think I could do better than that."Last year, with an average of over six, I would have been in the top five of the team right away. I think I could still have done it, but at that point I preferred to go with the certainty of Edinburgh where I knew everything was right for me."
