U's skipper seeks pastures new
Captain Brian Wilson has left the U's.
He leaves after four seasons and over 160 appearances, turning down the offer of a new contract at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.
Wilson was signed by John Ward in the summer of 2010 and has been a regular for both Ward and current boss Joe Dunne.
Dunne wanted to keep the reliable defender, but the thirty year old has decided that his football future was elsewhere.
