have been amazing. I’ve got to know them on a personal level over the years, and I’ll be sad not to see them week in week out. They’re so loyal and turn up no matter the weather, so I want to say thank you to them.
“I feel like I’ve still got some of my best years ahead of me, however–I’ m excited for what’s to come, and I’m looking for ward to the next chapter.”
As he is recovering from shoulder surgery and will remain under the care of the club’s medical team for the coming months.
