money for the 22-year-old England C interational.

for Chester scoring 10 goals in the process, the
most memorable of which was the last minute winner
against Wrexham.
On arriving at Motherwell the defender said: I’d
like to start off by thanking everyone involved
with Chester from the managers, players, staff and
the people who work behind the scenes. I’ve
mate some great people along the way and made some
lifetime friends. I’d also like to thank the
fans for their support and making me feel welcome
from day one. I’ve been proud to represent
the club.”
“The last two years have gone by so quickly
and I want to thank Chester for giving me the opportunity
of putting the shirt on and experiencing my first
taste of professional football, for that I’ll
be forever grateful. I wish everyone involved with
the club all the very best in the future. I’ll
always keep my eye on the results and be cheering
you on from a distance.” Picture

THOMPSON DEPARTS CHESTER
Goalkeeper Tony Thompson will not be signing for
Chester next season. The player was signed by Steve
Burr after he'd been released by Morecambe and made
12 appearances at the end of the season.
The departing shot-stopper said: “I spoke
with Macca shortly after the season finished and
I was told that I wouldn’t be offered a new
deal. It’s very unfortunate and surprising
news for me because I would have liked to have stayed
at Chester, but that’s football for you and
sometimes you don’t always get what you want.”
“I was really happy during my time at Chester
and if the club ever did come back and offer me
terms then I’d be happy to accept.”
