Key man Wes York departs Kettering Town after two-year stint at Latimer Park
Kettering Town have announced the departure of versatile attacker Wes York.
The 32-year-old has been with the Poppies for the past two years, but his stint at Latimer Park has come to an end.
A statement on the club's social media channels read: "After two fantastic years with the football club, Wes York departs with our sincerest thanks and best wishes.
"Mr Dependable. A true professional. A player who never hesitated to put the team first whether at full back, in midfield, or leading the line.
"Wes gave everything in every position he was asked to play.
"Your performances, leadership, and commitment have left a lasting mark on Kettering Town FC. Once a Poppy, always a Poppy."
York will be a big miss, having played 37 times for the Poppies in the league last season.
Kettering boss Liam McDonald is currently reshaping his squad ahead of the new Pitching-In Southern League Premier Central campaign, and also on his way through the exit door is defender Levi Andoh, 12 months after he joined the Poppies from York City.
Andoh was a regular performer for Kettering last season, making 24 appearances.
A club statement on Andoh's departure read: "After a year with the Poppies, you’re moving on and we’re grateful for your energy, commitment, and quality.
"You always gave your all for the badge. Best of luck in the next chapter."
As well as York and Andoh moving on, the club has also announced the retention of three more players from the squad that reached the promotion play-offs in April.
Goalkeeper Jason Alexander has put pen to paper on a new deal, along with Blaine Rowe, while the club has confirmed that Harvey Peters actually signed a contract to stay with the Poppies back in March.
