Braintree Town's transfer embargo has been lifted after the National League South club received sell-on payments from former player Kyrell Lisbie's transfer. The ban was imposed in May due to financial issues following their relegation. Braintree confirmed the first payment has been received and anticipates further payments, including one related to former player Tommy Smith. The club expressed disappointment over delayed payments from FIFA but can now proceed without the embargo as it prepares for a home match against Tonbridge Angels this weekend.
