Southern League Central side Hednesford Town has revealed that four players have left the club as it prepares for the 2020/21 season.
The Pitmen have undergone a boardroom shake-up since the cancellation of the 2019/20 season due to the coronavirus outbreak, with new joint owners Graham Jones and Hayden Dando both officially acquiring the non-league Staffordshire outfit earlier this month.
The club has also already released next season’s kit designs (subject to minor changes) as Hednesford Town Football Club celebrate its 140th anniversary year.
Now, the latest news coming out of the PRG Stadium sees four first team players exit.
Experienced journeyman Izak Reid leaves the Hednesford set-up after making 16 league appearances for The Pitmen last season.
The 32-year-old, who featured for the likes of Macclesfield Town, Morecambe and Stafford Rangers, joined from Chasetown in March 2019.
Also departing is Ben O’Hanlon, who played 15 times in the SL Central Premier last term, scoring once.
The former Wolverhampton Wanderers under-21 initially arrived on loan from Darlington in February 2019 before joining on a permanent basis.
Defender Charlie Gatter will also not be playing for Hednesford next campaign as the 22-year-old has also been told he can “seek football elsewhere.”
He arrived at the club from Gainsborough Trinity on loan until the end of the 2018/19 season, playing 23 times and netting three goals, before making permanent move for the 2019/20 campaign.
Finally, Tom Fry, who is capped at Wales Under-19 level, leaves after making just five league starts since his move from Welsh Premier League side Barry Town last September.
A spokesperson for Hednesford Town Football Club said: “The club would like to place on record its appreciation to these players for their efforts and support during their time with us and to wish them the very best for the future.
“Further updates will follow with regards next season’s squad in the near future.”
