Bangor City have announced long serving midfielder Sion Edwards has left the club under mutual consent in search of regular first-team football.
Edwards, 30, made a total 325 WPL appearances for the Citizens after joining the side in April 2006 but has seen his first-team opportunities limited this season.
The attacking midfielder played a key role for Bangor during one of their most successful periods in recent times, winning three Welsh Cups and the league championship between 2008-2011.
A statement from Edwards read: “It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to part ways with Bangor City Football Club by mutual consent.
“Bangor City Football Club has been such a huge part of my life and it is incredibly difficult saying goodbye, but I feel it is something that’s in the best interests of all involved, including my family and the club itself.
“My decision is completely based on my wish to experience something different and to make sure I have no regrets when my playing career is eventually over.
“When I joined Bangor City from Wrexham all those years ago, I not only joined as a player but as a fan. I hope in my years wearing the Bangor shirt with pride I have fulfilled and repaid the trust and support that so many people associated with the club have shown me.
“I would like to thank the current management team of Kevin Nicholson, Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Stephen Vaughn for their understanding over the past couple of days.
“I would also like to thank Gwyn Pierce Owen, Neville Powell, Mark Limbert, Gwynfor Jones and all players past and present that I’ve had the pleasure to play with over the years.
“My final thanks go to the very people who make and have made Bangor City the club it is today – the Supporters (even the Dinglers!). It has always been a privilege to represent you and I will cherish all the great memories that we have made from the Welsh Cup wins, winning the league and our travels in Europe.
“I wish the club and current team all the success for the remainder of the season and years to come.
“We’ve not done badly have we? Keep The Faith.”
