Sanders
joined Leek in November 2018 after impressing against the Blues playing for
Hallmark Security League Premier Division outfit Charnock Richards, he then
signed a contract in February 2019.
Sanders
expressed his intentions to move following last season as the new league
structure meant it was very difficult to play for Leek in the South East
Division whilst he lived in Bolton.
Although
under contract the club had a gentlemen's agreement in place to work with the
player on a move if Leek were moved into a different league.
The
fee and deal is undisclosed, but is structured around incentives, appearances
and includes a sell on clause.
Manager
Neil Baker told the club`s website: "Jack is a great lad - young, athletic
and will improve further in a professional club, we wish him all the best for
the future - we will keep tabs on his progress."
Club
chairman Jon Eeles added: "I am delighted for Jack and the Sanders family,
who in a short space of time have quickly became a part of our club. The club
is proud to have played a part in his development and wish him all the best for
the future.
“This
is the second player to have returned to professional football whilst playing
for Neil at Leek, which is a great accolade for him, the football that is
played and the way our club is run. non-League football at this level is
continually scouted and I would encourage any young players with aspirations to
return to the professional game to play for a Step 4 club, the connections Neil
has in the professional game have played a large part in this also". |
