Fear the Beard is a cry that will no longer be heard at The Walks
Gary Setchell insists he did everything he could to try and keep leading scorer George Thomson at King’s Lynn Town.
The Linnets’ boss suffered a hammer blow this afternoon when the 21-goal playmaker – who has found the net 13 times more than second-top marksman Steve Spriggs this term – decided to join Vanarama Conference outfit Chester, subject to paperwork being completed.
The 22-year-old spent a trial spell with the Blues during pre-season but has now returned to play his football two levels higher up the non-league pyramid.
“It goes without saying I am very, very disappointed to be losing George at this stage of the season,” Setchell told his club’s official website. “I had hoped to be able to hold onto George until the end of the season. Chester had a good look at him over the summer and I was hoping that their interest had gone away. However, they have come back and unfortunately George has made the decision to leave the club.”
