Charlie Marshall and stalwart Lee Turner are two players who have exited Garforth Town, but most of last season’s successful Toolstation NCEL Premier Division squad are staying put.
Young Marshall, son of Garforth chief Paul, has joined Northern Premier League new-boys Liversedge.
Versatile and popular Turner leaves after three spells with his home-town club. He scored lots of crackers during his time with the Miners and he has the rare distinction of playing in almost every position for them.

‘Superman’ goalkeeper Toby Wells is set to start his fourth season with Garforth.
Tough centre-half Jamie Barkway enters his second campaign as does full-back Jack McGahan.
