Writer’s View
Personally, this is a big loss for Halifax Town, especially considering the departure list already this summer is very concerning. The striker has struggled for consistency in other spells in his career, but I think it’s fair to admit that he really excelled with Halifax.
There have been no rumours in regards to a possible destination for the striker but I do expect him to remain in the National League next season. In terms of a possible destination, a northern side like Gateshead or Hartlepool could be a possibility.
