Josh Staunton has challenged his Yeovil Town team-mates to “pick up the torch” handed to them by some of the Glovers’ departing senior players.
The versatile 25-year-old made just seven appearances after joining from FC Halifax Town in the summer, suffering a knee injury in the 3-1 home defeat to Eastleigh in December.
Posting on his Twitter account, Josh described this season as “my worst in football, but strangely also one of my proudest.”
I am gutted I didn’t get to walk down the tunnel with that great group of lads more often. But I’m proud to know every one of those men in that dressing room. The senior boys who have moved on have put the foundations in place for this club to push on and be successful…

And it’s now down to us to pick up the torch and finish what they started in bringing success back to @YTFC. @charlielee06, @carldickinson_3 and Jimmy, thank you for everything, I would like to wish you all good luck, this year would have been a whole lot harder without you! ?

In response, his former (*sob*) team-mate Carl Dickinson, now manager of Hanley Town, replied….
Top man mate! Look forward to seeing you back in the shirt, driving the lads on ??
