Stephen Johnson released

Winger Stephen Johnson has been released by the club, after being disappointed at his lack of a regular starting place this season.

Manager Karl Marginson said: "Stephen is a very good player and was a valued member of the squad. We have to state that we need players who are committed to the team and are aware that this is very much a squad game.

"We have assembled a fantastic squad this season, with plenty of strength in depth and I believe this will serve us well through the tougher months ahead.

"I have told the players that everyone will be given a chance over the course of the season. Unfortunately, Stephen has decided that is not enough and he is keen to get guaranteed regular starts elsewhere. We thank him for his service to FC, particularly last season when he was one of out best performers."
