Saying goodbye to the Outwell Swifts
It was with the utmost saddness that today I made the decision to quit my beloved Outwell Swifts FC. I joined the Swifts shortly after moving to Norfolk from London last year, enjoyed a difficult 2010/11 season and now leave them after a tough start to this season.
I discovered the Swifts after interviewing the then chairman of Wisbech Town FC Paul Brenchley, who is also the Swifts manager. After explaining I had just moved to the area, was looking for a new football team and that I was in the Wisbech area, he snapped me up for the Swifts and the rest, as they say, was history.
There were plenty of highlights for me throughout the 2010/11 season like captaining the side on the final game of the season away at Debden, beating Ely City "A" away in a hard-fought game to keep our relegation hopes alive and scoring in our 2-2 draw away at Fulbourn Institute after coming from 2-0 down.
There were a few low moments too like the opening day defeat at the hands of local rivals Wisbech St Mary, losing 8-0 away at Longstanton and losing 5-0 away at Saffron Crocus.

I have explained my various reasons for leaving the Swifts to the gaffer and the core of first team players. I hope they do understand that I am gutted to be leaving and that I wish I could be back in the side helping them out of their current situation. I can't thank them enough for welcoming me into their team and I will be keeping an eye on their fixtures every week and their latest news on Twitter (@OutwellSwiftsFC)
