Director of Football Jody Brown said, “We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to all of our departing players for their efforts and commitment throughout the season. Together, they helped raise standards and expectations within the club, contributing to a fantastic top ten finish and leaving the club in a stronger position than when they arrived, something they should all be proud of.

A special mention must go to Dale and Jamie, who have both spent two years with the club and worked under four different managers during that time. Their professionalism, dedication, and contribution to the club’s development have been invaluable, and they have played an important role in our growth both on and off the pitch.

For some of the other players moving on, opportunities in their preferred positions were limited, which made it difficult for them to fully establish themselves. Jack Turner, in particular, showed real glimpses of the quality and potential we know he possesses when given the chance to play in his natural role. We wish every departing player the very best in the next stages of their careers.

The loan market also proved hugely beneficial for us this season, and credit must go to both the players themselves and their parent clubs for their support and cooperation. Olly Sanderson was certainly a standout performer, but every loan player made a valuable contribution to the squad across the campaign.

Work is already underway behind the scenes as we continue negotiations and preparations for the new season. We are hopeful of bringing supporters some positive news in the near future, while remaining committed to the club’s principles and philosophy, both on the field and financially.

Finally, thanks must also go to the players who remain under contract. They have bought into our vision, shown commitment to the journey ahead, and we are excited to see both their individual and collective development continue next season.

Enjoy the off-season break, and thank you once again for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the Laithwaite Stadium in July.”

Woking Football Club places on record its thanks to all players for their contributions during their time with the Club, and wishes those players leaving all the very best for the future.
