Goalkeeper George Sapsford is leaving Romford FC as personal commitments and future plans conflict with his availability to the club.

Since joining us at the start of this season, George has become a popular member of the squad and endeared himself to supporters with a hat-trick of penalty saves in the shoot-out in the Essex Senior Cup game against Harwich & Parkeston. More recently, George has stood in for the injured Lamar Johnson.

George's dad, Garry, said, "We are so grateful for the opportunities that George has had at Romford. To get opportunities to play men’s football as a goalkeeper at 18 is rare and he has learned a lot from the experience. A clean sheet and 3 penalty saves on his debut will be something he never forgets. We have met some really good people doing so much for the club - thank you all the guys on the committee and the loyal supporters. I am sure our paths will cross in the future. With Lamar back, the club has an excellent keeper who George has enjoyed working with. We ‘d like to put on record how supportive and helpful Lamar has been to George".

Good luck for the future, George and thanks for your contribution to the Boro!
