Alfreton manager Billy Heath told the club`s press officer Amar Sharma: “We’re extremely disappointed to let Tom go, we know what he brings to the table, know what he offers. It’s a loss for us but when an opportunity like this comes for a player, I’ve always stood by the fact that we have to let the player take it.”
“Tom is 29 now, it’s a chance for him to join a full-time club and what many would consider a Football League side. It’s his last chance to be involved in full time football.”
“Tom wanted to speak to them and the move back into the National League also attracted him, he’d be moving into a higher level and he was keen to do that.”
“All at the club wish Tom all the best, he has been fantastic at all three clubs I’ve had him, we’ve been good for each other and we wish him well”. |
