A new deal was tabled for the popular out-of-contract player in late May but Carter claimed they have still not had a response.

Carter, manager Liam Watson and his assistant Dominic Morley have all tried to contact Trainer, one of only four players from last season's squad to be offered new terms, but to no avail so far.

Carter said: "Liam has tried to get hold of him, Dom has tried to get hold of him, I have tried to get hold of him.

"I know he was on holiday around the start of June, but I have heard absolutely nothing from him.

"We are not in the business of falling out with Phil Trainer. He is a fantastic servant to the football club.
