Whitstable Town FC

WTFC manager Marc Seager annouced Stuart Harrison is leaving Whitstable after three years at the clu.b: "It is with great regret that I have to announce the departure of Stuart Harrison from the Belmont.  After giving Lordswood permission to speak to the Stuart last night, he today informed me, after sleeping on it overnight, that he wished to leave Whitstable Town and accept Lordswood’s offer.

Unfortunately for Stuart he has found it difficult to break into the 1^st team this season at the Belmont and I fully accept that at this stage of his career that he wants to be playing regular 1^st team football, something that I am unable to offer Stuart at this moment in time. The fact that we’ve had such a great start to the season and the high standards set by other players has made it very difficult for me to make too many changes and some players have become victims of the teams great start to the season.

I have always been fully aware that with having such a big strong squad such has the one that we’ve got at the Belmont this season it was always going to be an impossible task for me to keep everyone happy and I fully accept that some players may see their futures away from the Belmont, but as a manager it’s never nice to see a player leave especially when they’re a friend too and this is the downside of management for me.

I have known Stuart for many years and feel privileged not only to have played alongside him but also to have managed such a class player. He really is one of the most skilful players that I have had the pleasure to have played with or against throughout my career, and want to take this opportunity to publicly thank ‘Harry’ for all his time, efforts and many good times that he has given Whitstable Town over the past 3 years and his all round professionalism is a great example to others.
