NPL Division One East
Long serving Stocksbridge Park Steels striker Scott Ruthven has decided to leave Bracken Moor.
His decision ends his six-year spell with Stocksbridge who he joined in 2015 and immediately struck up a great partnership with Joe Lumsden.
Ruthven had enjoyed many high points during time with Stocksbridge.
He scored both goals when the Steels memorably knocked out FA Trophy holders North Ferriby in 2015.
He once scored four times against Ilkeston and even scored a free kick in the FA Cup live on the BBC.
Ian Richards told his club’s website: “We are sorry to see Scott leave but fully respect his decision.
“I cannot thank him enough for his efforts and commitment during his time with the club and what he has given the club for nearly seven years.
“I wish him and his family all the best for the future.”
Stocksbridge are next in action on the 27th December when they host local rivals Sheffield FC.
