Alex Whitmore to depart Solihull Moors at the End of the Season
Solihull Moors can confirm that defender Alex Whitmore will leave the Club at the end of the season.
Tomorrow’s fixture at Damson Park will mark Whitmore’s final home game for the Club, bringing to an end a spell in which he has become a hugely important figure both on and off the pitch.
An ever-present throughout this season, Whitmore has played a key role in the heart of the Moors' defence and has been a consistent presence in the side. His leadership, commitment and professionalism have made him a popular figure amongst teammates, staff and supporters alike.
Off the pitch, Whitmore’s character and personality have been just as important as his performances and his presence around the Club will be a huge loss when he departs at the end of the campaign.
Speaking on his departure, Whitmore said: "Leaving is not a decision I have taken lightly. This football club has become a real home for me and my family and I have nothing but positive memories from my time here. The people associated with this place, the fans, the staff and the players are what has made my time so enjoyable. I’d go as far as to say that this football Club is the most at home I've felt during my career. I would like to say a special thank you to the Chairman, who has looked after me at every opportunity and also to the gaffer, for the very same reason. Two gentlemen of the highest order and Solihull fans should be proud that they have them at this football Club. I will be watching on as a huge fan in the future and I wish nothing but the very best for the Club and everyone attached to it."
Chris Millington, First Team Manager, said: "Whits has been impeccable in his approach since Coops and I joined the Club. We identified early on his importance to the team and the culture of the Club and moved to try and secure his signature with a new deal. It was an incredibly difficult decision for Whits as his personal circumstances dictate he could not sign. He has a great affinity for everyone at the Club and we all have the same affection for him and the place won’t be the same without him. He will be sorely missed but we send him with our very best wishes and he is welcome back at Damson Park any time."
Chairman, Darryl Eales, added: "Whits has been a colossal figure at the Club over the past 3 seasons.
He is an exemplary professional, both on and off the pitch and a true leader of men.
It’s been a pleasure to get to know him and Kelly and we wish them every success in the future, both in football and in life."
Everyone at Solihull Moors would like to place on record their thanks to Alex for everything he has given to the Club and wish him all the very best for the future.
Supporters will have the opportunity to show their appreciation to Whits during tomorrow’s final home game at Damson Park.
