“I’d like to firstly apologise to the fans and people around the club as the season didn’t end how we all would have wanted it to. However I will still cherish my time with the club and also hold it close to me. A massive part of this is because of the fans and how much support they showed me at all times and that I will never forget. Although my time here was only short and I’m now moving onto a new challenge. I wish the fans and everyone to do with Hastings nothing but well. I’m sure the club will be back where it belongs in no time and I will be keeping watch. I’m sure I will be down to support in the home end with the fans in future but until then it’s bye for now“

Once a U always a U – George Walker

Following discussions with club captain Adam Lovatt we can confirm that the player has left the club with immediate effect.

Chairman Dean White said

“Despite not seeing the best of Adam consistently on the pitch last season we did offer him terms to stay on board with us next year. However, Adam has decided he would like to try and play at a higher level and we wish him well in that quest“

Adam Lovatt said

“It’s never easy to say goodbye to a club that has meant so much to me. Over the past few years, I’ve been proud to wear the armband and represent this fantastic club. I want to thank everyone involved — from the staff and my teammates to the incredible supporters — for the memories, the trust, and the constant support“

“I’m heartbroken that we couldn’t keep the club up this season. As captain, I take a huge share of that responsibility, and I’m truly sorry we couldn’t deliver the outcome we all fought so hard for. But I believe in this club, and I’m sure it will bounce back“

“To the fans — thank you for everything. Your passion, loyalty, and energy are what make this club so special. It’s been an honour to play for you, and this place will always hold a special place in my heart“
