Grays Athletic captain Kenny Beaney has left the club by mutual consent.

The skipper becomes the latest player to leave Mill Field following the announcement that owner Andy Swallow would be relinquishing his day-to-day running of the club last week.

Beaney joined the club in 2011 and was part of the Ryman One North title winning squad.

A statement on the club website says: "We understand that Kenny's departure will be a massive loss to both the squad and to our supporters.

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank Kenny for his professionalism, loyalty and commitment to Grays Athletic over the past five years. We wish him all the very best and we hope that maybe one day he will return to the club.

"A true Grays Athletic legend."

Vice captain Sean Cronin left Grays last week, scoring the winner on his debut for new side Hayes & Yeading.
