We can confirm that defender George Burroughs has left the club.
Manager Kevin Wilkin confirmed George’s departure following Thursday evening’s training session, feeling that a move would be in the best interests of both parties.
“Unfortunately, things haven’t worked out as either George or we would have hoped. He came into the club just before the season began but hasn’t quite reached the level where he’d be pushing for a starting position.”
George signed for the club just ahead of the new season commencing, but has been unable to claim a regular place in the side, which Kevin acknowledged:
“With several players being injured in the early weeks of the season, it was important to have George available as cover, but with the likes of Steff (Jones), Nathan (Fox) and Jordan (Piggott) now all fit and playing again, and with Alex Gudger coming aboard too, I had to be honest and say that George’s opportunities were going to be limited.”
“At this stage of his career, I feel George needs to be getting regular minutes, and that’s not something I can guarantee for him. He’s a great lad, and I wish him all the very best for the next stage of his career.”
We too would like to thank George for his efforts on behalf of the club – go well, George.
