....of Evo-Stik Southern League Premier Division Central club Banbury United, confirmed that Lewis Gabbidon had decided to leave the Puritans.

The 29-year-old central midfielder had spells with Kidlington, Oxford City Nomads and Marlow before returning to Kidlington to play a key part in their Uhlsport Hellenic League championship-winning season of 2015/16.

He moved back to Marlow for the start of the following season but returned to Kidlington once more just a few weeks into the season.

He was voted Kidlington’s players’ player of the season last season before signing for Banbury in the summer.

He has left Banbury as he felt his opportunities for regular match time would be limited.

In addition, goalkeeper Jack Harding has signed dual registration forms with United Counties League Premier Division side Daventry Town.

The 26-year-old came through the Banbury youth side and progressed to be a regular in the reserve side, also making five first-team appearances.

His last first-team appearance for United before moving on was as part of the Buckingham Charity Cup final-winning side in May 2012 against Cogenhoe United.

After a spell with Hellenic League Division One side Hook Norton he joined Premier Division side Ardley United for the start of season 2013/14 where over the course of two seasons he established himself as one of the top keepers in the Hellenic League.

He returned to Banbury in the summer of 2015 and has now made over 150 appearances for the club.

However, he is returning after a long-term injury and needs game time.

He played for Aaron Parkinson's team on Tuesday night in a 6-2 win over Cogenhoe.
