A message to the fans from Crispin McClean:

Curzon Ashton, thank you so much for the last 6 months. When I arrived I didn’t know what to expect but from day one I had a feeling that I was joining a great club.

From my teammates, to the staff around the building and the fans, I was made to feel very welcome and this helped me settle very quickly. Unfortunately the later part of my time here didn’t go as expected and was depreciated of minutes which was frustrating as I feel I had more to offer to the team but it wasn’t to be for one reason or another.

I am gutted to be leaving my teammates who have been incredible to me the whole time here and also to the fans who have always been behind my back even when I’m not playing it means a lot. I wish the boys all the best for the future, good luck and thank you.
