However, injuries meant his appearances for the next two seasons were more sporadic as the Coasters won the FA Trophy, lost a play-off final and spent this season battling against the drop.

Montrose issued a statement on the club website saying: “During my time here I have made some friends for life, I have had some great teammates and worked with some great people who I now consider close friends of mine. I want to say a big thank you to Dave Challinor who brought me to the club and gave me the opportunity to play here, along with all of his staff.

“As well as Chally, it has been great to work with Jim Bentley and his team as well.

“There are so many people I would like to thank personally but under the circumstances I can’t go and see everyone and say bye, but please do understand that there are some great people at this club.

“Behind the scenes so many want to help and that’s from the guys in the office to the chefs, we’re always well looked after.

“Getting to Wembley twice in one season and the only team to win the FA Vase and FA Trophy is something we will never forget as players and you won’t forget as fans.

“This season didn’t go to plan but I do truly believe that we would have got out of the fight at the bottom and stayed up, things had just started to turn and we had real belief.”
