Eastleigh Football Club can confirm that Club Captain Joe Partington has today left the Club and joined Bristol Rovers for a club record transfer fee.
The Club gave Joe permission to speak with Bristol Rovers yesterday following an offer which activated a release clause in his contract.
The Club were in negotiations to extend Joe’s contract further, however with such a high level of interest being shown from teams higher up the Pyramid it was always likely that his would be difficult to conclude.
Joe has been an extremely popular member of the squad since signing and has made over 100 appearances for the Club. He has conducted himself impeccably and is fully deserving of the opportunity to return to the Football League.
Whilst the Club are extremely disappointed to lose Joe, we are absolutely delighted for him personally. It is a fantastic move, to a super Club and we wish Joe well for the future and thank him for all his efforts whilst at our Club.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Bristol Rovers for the manner in which they approached the signing of Joe and especially that of their manager Darrell Clarke

A good addition in my eyes, with hopefully his best years ahead of him, welcome to the club Joe.
Also like the way that Eastleigh thank us and DC for the way we conducted ourselves in going about the transfer, always good to hear, I remember the chairman down there saying how good we were when we played them as well, fair play to him/them, haven't got to say those things and you don't usually hear them, just another sign that we've really got a top bloke in charge.

There may be something leaked at some point. I certainly can't imagine it will be any more than this, maybe even less if it was a release clause. UTG!

I believe that their previous club record sale was Brett Williams to Reading for 50K, so anything above that.

They probably got a pre-season friendly thrown in as well.

Nice comments about BRFC on Eastleigh's twitter as well. Was it their chairman who praised our fans in the Conference season?

With all the comments coming from the Eastleigh fans on their forums, I reckon we may have nicked their Talisman. Looking forward to seeing how he performs.

Apparently we paid 85k for him.
I'm actually quite pleased with this signing, welcome to the Gas Joe lad!
