The club say that Hare requested an increase to his wages, which was rejected, and he has now departed to explore opportunities elsewhere.

Another to leave the club due to work and travel commitments is striker Elliott, who first arrived at the Pesky Bulls in the summer of 2024.

He scored nine times last season and has added a further eight so far this campaign - more than any other player at the club in 2025/26.

A statement released by the club's board of directors earlier this week described the jump to Step 3 as their \"biggest challenge yet\".

They confirmed that as well as reducing the size of the playing squad, manager Ste Daley and his backroom team had also taken significant pay cuts in order to \"protect the club's future\".

The statement added: \"To keep the club sustainable and competitive, we’ve had to make some incredibly tough calls regarding our finances.

\"Now, we need you to improve our attendances. Without you we simply cannot sustain our current outgoings.

\"Times are tough for everyone, and we know the price of football is rising. But every person through the turnstile makes a difference. Let’s fill the ground, get behind the lads, and show the league what Prescot is made of.\"

Cables have already announced Hare's replacement between the posts, with young Wigan Athletic shot-stopper Matteo Spinelli arriving at the club on loan.

The 19-year-old enjoyed a successful loan spell in the National League North with Marine earlier this season.

In further positive news, an agreement has been reached with Everton to extend the loan of Bradley Moonan, while Preston North End academy youngster Somto Ifezue has also joined on a 28-day work experience loan.

Prescot Cables joined the Lancashire Combination in 1927–28 taking over the record of Fleetwood who resigned after playing 22 matches. (Until 1968, when the Northern Premier League was formed, the Lancashire Combination was one of top leagues in the north-west of England). Cables came runner-up in the Combination on three consecutive seasons from 1930–31 to 1932–33.

In 1932 Valerie Park hosted its record attendance (8,122) in a game against Ashton National. Unfortunately for the Cables, the glory years were not to return for another 20 years.

The years 1954 to 1960 were probably the club's most successful. In 1954–55 they finished Lancashire Combination Division Two runner-up and were promoted to Division One. The next season but one (1956–57) they finished champions of the Lancashire Combination. The following two seasons they were runners-up.

In 1954–55 the Cables registered their record victory in a competitive game (18–3) against Great Harwood.

In the F.A. Cup too the Cables shone. In 1957–58 they fought their way to the first round proper for the first time, only to be beaten away at Hartlepool United. They were in the first round proper again in 1959–60; this time they were beaten away at Darlington.

By 1975 fortunes at the club had dipped drastically. The Cables joined Mid Cheshire Football League and unsurprisingly they finished champions in 1976–77.

In 1978–79 they joined Cheshire County League as founder members of Division Two, finished League Division Two Champions in 1979–80 and won promotion to Division One. This was arguably the highest level of football being played at Valerie Park since 1968. Even better was to follow. In 1982–83 the Cables became founder members of the North West Counties League and in 1986–87 they won promotion to Division One.
