On the departing central defender, Matlock manager Paul Phillips said: “We did our very best to keep him but he’s been offered a two-year contract on very good money.
"When we came to the club we set parameters for contracts, Sam’s 29 and we keep a close watch on who we offer contracts to. We have to be aware of our wage bill and we can only do so much and it’s important that the club stays on a stable base, it’s the same rules for everyone and we won’t move the goalpost.
"Sam’s been excellent for us and we wish him all the best for the future.”
The Pitching In Northern Premier League Premier Division club also confirmed the departure of Jonathan Wafula for Grantham Town.
