Im not sure this is strictly fair, he was released by Swansea and is now at Derby. You could argue this would be nice for them to be closer to Mallory’s kids. Personally I would like to live like that but I suppose they have a nice life thanks to his job
I agree. Joe has the more 'stable' location in that unless Wasps release him, or he is made a money can't buy offer (unlikely these days) he is extremely unlikely to move. He bleeds black and gold.
Footballers tend to move around more/are let go more than rugby players do.
I see they are moving in with Mallory for the time being.
Is it the normal thing to do or do the families usually stay in one place while the sportsperson parent moves with their team? I do feel for the kids, it must be hard!
Depends. If it is a big move like this one they would go with them. If it is easily commutable then no. In reality most move.
I'm more upto date with rugby than football, but I have known players move from Wasps to Leicester Tigers and vice versa easily commutable and so no need to relocate. Even upto Northampton.
It gets harder as you get into the twilight playing years, as Korey is hitting. To be signed to a lower division and a late take up, the offers couldn't have been there for him. They had no choice but to move.
