Goalkeeper Bertrand Bossu has asked to leave Crewe just six days after signing a two-month contract with the League One club.

The news comes on the day that Alex signed another keeper - Bristol Rovers` Steve Phillips - on a two-month loan deal.

Bossu was on the bench for Saturday's 4-0 win at Cheltenham as cover for Adam Legzdins after Steve Collis was taken ill.

But the 29-year-old Frenchman has asked for his deal to be cancelled for personal reasons.

A brief statement from Crewe read: "The club has accepted his request and we wish Bertrand all the best in the future."
