The Northern Irish midfielder, who joined from Hampton and Richmond in 2014, has decided to join Southall of the Isthmian South-Central Division. He leaves us with 399 appearances and 33 goals to his name. Michael has also represented his country four times at Under 21 level and has two full caps.

Michael said, 'I've been here a long time and it has been a pleasure. I've met some good people and had some great times - a special mention to George (Moore) and Preds (Shaun Preddie) for that - what a pair!'

He added, 'The club have got some good young players coming through who have bright futures and I look forward to seeing how they progress. I'm sure I'll see everyone again soon'.

Steve Baker said, 'Following a chat with Mike earlier this week he has decided to move on and feels he needs a fresh start after many years at the club. Mike has played for me since I arrived at the club and I can’t speak highly enough of him. An extremely talented, technical player who has always been in our strongest side. He’s been a fantastic servant to the club but I feel the timing of his decision is probably the right one'.

'Not only has he been a great player for the club, but he’s been a pleasure to work with. He’s a top lad and played a huge part on and off the pitch. I think he’s still got a few years in him, but I’m sure he will definitely be one who moves on to the coaching side. I wish him all the best for the future'.

As does everyone at Harrow Borough.
