Paul Buckle is now open to offers for Nicky Wroe after deciding to place the midfielder on the transfer list.
The former Barnsley and York City schemer had become a key member of the Gulls side that won promotion back to the Football League and found the target in Torquay's 2-0 Blue Square Premier Play-Off semi final first leg win over Histon.
Last season, Nicky found himself amongst the goals again as he scored 13 goals as the Gulls re-established as a Football League side. This included a hat-trick in Torquay's 3-1 FA Cup first round victory over Cheltenham Town. He also took over the captaincy of the side following the departure of Chris Hargreaves.
Following news that his playing budget will be cut, Bucks has admitted that he will have to shuffle his pack a little and the recent emergence of Northern Irish youngster Eunan O'Kane could well lighten the blow of Nicky's impending departure.
Whoever does take on Nicky's role, whether that be his place in the centre of midfield or as captain of the side, they will be taking on the responsibilties of a player who played an important part in helping Torquay United get back to their current level.
