No return for wandering winger

King's Lynn Town manager Gary Setchell insists the revolving door has finally shut on winger Steve Spriggs’ career with the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League's Linnets.

Lynn's top goal-scorer, pictured, announced on his Twitter account last week that he was leaving The Walks for a third time since the Premier Division's Linnets were revived in 2010. He'd failed to score in five starts and 11 substitute appearances this season after netting 72 in his first 150 outings.

Setchell previously welcomed Spriggs back following brief spells with Swedish club Ytterhogdals IK and Boston United but insisted the 25-year-old’s love affair with Lynn is definitely over.

Setchell told www.edp24.co.uk: "This is it. He’s gone away three or four times and I’ve had him back which shows how much I thought of him. He’s been a huge player for us for in our first three years but it’s not worked out for him this season. I didn’t want him to go but I accept his decision."
