Auxerre miss out on Burnley's Han-Noah Massengo
The Frenchman will sign a five-year contract with the Bundesliga side, after they forked out a little over €3m. However, for a while, it seemed as if AJ Auxerre would be the club to land the midfielder. Massengo had spent the past six months on loan with the Ligue 1 side (his second spell at the club, having also been loaned out in 2023 when he was on the books with Bristol City).

However, the club were unsuccessful in negotiating a reduction in Burnley's €3m asking price. A fan favourite in the Burgundy region and highly valued by manager Christophe Pelissier, Massengo's presence will be missed as Auxerre look to maintain their Ligue 1 status for a second season in a row.

Lions legend officially retires after shocking decision at age 29
The Detroit Lions already knew they wouldn't have Frank Ragnow this season. But his retirement was only made official on Wednesday. That's when the Lions placed Ragnow on the reserve/retired list. Ragnow, the four-time Pro Bowl center, stepped away from the game at age 29. The news of Ragnow's retirement officially broke on June 2, but the procedure of moving him to the NFL's retired list didn't happen until July 16. "These past couple of months have been very trying as I've come to the realization that my football journey is ending and I'm officially retiring from the NFL," Ragnow explained on Instagram. "I've tried to convince myself that I'm feeling good but I'm not and it's time to prioritize my health and my families future. I have given this team everything I have and I thought I had more to give, but the reality is I simply don't. I have to listen to my body and this has been one of the hardest decisions of my life. The Lions organization has been absolutely incredible throughout this process and I can't emphasize this enough how grateful I am for this team and all the fans. It was an absolute honor going to battle for you all." MORE: Bills get a huge break toward knocking off the Chiefs Ragnow suited up in 96 games overall for the Lions.

She will play in the Junior Premier League, with the aim of playing for City Women's first team in a couple of years' time. Alongside Bradford and Liverpool last season, Hird continued with local boys' team Sutton Juniors, and they gained mid-season promotion due to the team's impressive performances. She also continued to train for Skipton based, Select Football Academy, who provide an excellent ladder for boys and girls who are wanting to take a step up from grassroots level. Hird has been kindly sponsored by Pennine Vehicle Repairs on her journey, which is a Local Land Rover and Jaguar specialist based in Skipton.
