Histon goalkeeper Sam Roach announces departure from club after victory over Newport Pagnell Town

Sam Roach has announced his departure from Histon with immediate effect.

The long-serving goalkeeper made 260 appearances for the Stutes and he was between the posts for yesterday’s 2-0 home victory over Newport Pagnell Town in the GCS Hire Fleet United Counties Football League Premier Division South.

However, less than 24 hours on from that win at Bridge Road, Roach has confirmed that it was his last outing for the club.

He wrote on the social networking site X: “This is not what I thought I’d be writing, but as of today my time at Histon FC has come to an end after 260 competitive games.

“I would like to thank all my team-mates past and present and wish you all the best of luck for the rest of the season.

“To the Histon supporters – you’ve all been amazing and thank you for your continued support.

“I am now looking for another club to carry on my career with.”

Histon boss Chris Nunn replied: “Good luck Sam, wishing you all the very best of luck. Someone will be getting a great lad and a great keeper.”
