Several departures from NPL Division One North West side Pickering Town have been announced.
Goalkeeper Sam Riches and forwards Charlie Birley and Leon Osborne are the main three exits.
The Pikes have formally confirmed the departure of the vastly-experienced Dave Merris, but he left before the campaign collapsed as he emigrated to Guernsey last year.
Pickering’s popular young goalkeeper Charlie Andrew is leaving as well as he is taking up at a full-time role at a professional side’s academy.
It is not all doom and gloom for Pickering as manager Steve Roberts is hoping to announce some new signings in the next few weeks.
