"Special mention to all my team-mates, the members of staff, the managers I’ve worked under and the numerous people I’ve crossed paths with in and around the football club over the last three years. I’ve made some great friends and met some fantastic people and that’s what football's all about.

"Enjoy your summer and all the best in the future."
