Ben Deegan released

Ben Deegan has been released by FC United and this morning signed for New Mills.

Fans’ favourite Deegan has made a number of substitute appearances but not had a regular starting berth and has moved to New Mills to get more regular first team football.

Ben leaves with the best wishes of everyone at the club, ‘It is sad to see players like Ben go when he has contributed so much to the club,’ said FC manager Karl Marginson ‘but the way we want to set up and play means mainly using Ben as a substitute where he can come on and change a game. ‘

‘Ben knew his role in the squad and last season we used his strengths to great effect when he came on from the bench and influenced games. He caught the eye of Rochdale staff and has had time training with them this season but Ben has made no secret of the fact that he would like to be playing more regularly and with a new baby on the way he wants to be earning more regular money. He has done well for us and needs more time on the pitch than we can give him just now and we won’t stand in the way of any player if they think that they need to move on. As New Mills are in our league we cannot retain his registration Ben leaves with our best wishes and thanks.’
