Two depart Curzon

Curzon Ashton have confirmed the departure of two key players.

Midfielder Chris Rowney, who has been with the club for six seasons, has decided the time is right to pursue a new challenge.

Following his decision, he tweeted: "This is tough one but after 6 years at club, I feel now is probably the right time that I took on a new challenge. Just want to thank all the players, staff and fans who have been a massive part of our success. Wish the club all the best moving forward."

Meanwhile, striker Ryan Brooke, who re-joined the club last season for a second spell, has also left. He said: I love the club, the players, the fans & the staff. But due to the huge increase in travel in the National League North & my ever increasing family, I have decided to sign elsewhere. Thanks for the memories, I’m proud to say I’m a Curzon Ashton fan."
