Ashford United captain Sam Corne has left the club, it has been announced.
The midfielder departs Homelands after just one season, scoring 21 goals in 40 appearances, and playing a crucial role in the Nuts and Bolts’ surge to the Bostik South East play-offs.
Corne told the club’s website: “I would just like to thank Ashford United for last season.
“This has been one of my most enjoyable seasons to date whereby the board, management and most importantly the fans have been tremendous to me.
“I wish you all the best moving forward and maybe we’ll meet again.”
After joining United from Greenwich Borough in June last year, Corne will most likely be most remembered for his brace and last minute winner in April’s play-off semi final against Hastings.
Despite not revealing where he will be playing his football next season, United will no doubt be on the hunt for replacements as they kick off their pre-season in just six weeks time at home to Sheppey United.
