Speaking to his clubs official website www.oldhamathletic.co.uk , manager Dave Penney said:
"We'd like to thank Darren for his efforts whilst with us.
"However we need to channel our team's resources and the style we play in a different direction."
The striker had fallen down the selection order after Oldham recruited Nick Blackman from Blackburn Rovers on loan.

It was only May 2008 when Byfield was in a Championship Play Off Final against Hull for a place in the Premiership, with Bristol City. His move to Doncaster did not work out as expected
The player is yearly linked with a move back to Bescot, I imagine that is once again going to do the rounds.
