Goal machine Pearce says farewell as key men leave Worthing

Worthing goal machine Ollie Pearce is on the move.

Rebels have failed to agree a new contract with the man who scored 43 times in their push for promotion last season.

They are also losing Joe Felix, who added pace and excitement out wide.

Both have linked up again with former Rebels boss Adam Hinshelwood at York City.

Kane Wills has signed a new deal with Joel Colbran, Nicky Wheeler and Greg Luer also on board for the coming campaign.

Pearce, who scored 155 goals for the club in 245 appearances, penned a message to fans.

He told them: “It’s time for me to move on and challenge myself in full-time football.

“I hope you can all understand that it doesn’t come around often and it wasn’t an easy decision to make.

“A chapter in my life I’ll never forget.”
