Bangor defender Stephen Munn has decided to return to England and has issued a personal statement to the club website this evening.

"Due to personal reasons, I regret to inform everyone that I am leaving the club to return to England. It has been a hard and sad decision to make, but I feel it is one that I have to take now. I have enjoyed my time at the club and have greatly appreciated being part of Bangor Football Club - it is a fantastic club with great officials and great fans.

I have always had a great rapport with the players, management and staff and have received magnificent support from the Bangor fans. Bill Peden deserves a special mention as he is working so hard for the club and was the man to bring me back to Clandeboye in the summer.

To all the players - good luck for the rest of the season. I know that with Windy, Andy and Keyhole, Bangor can get back in the Premier League where they belong.

My last game will be as a supporter on Saturday against Ards and it would be a fantastic send off if the lads were to get three points. I will never forget Bangor Football Club and would never rule out a return if things in England don't work out. I will always have Bangor FC in my blood.
A huge thanks to everyone."

Stephen Munn
