Westcarr leaves via mutual consent as Yates is retained

Matlock Town have terminated the contract of striker Craig Westcarr by mutual consent.

The 34-year-old who played for both Nottingham clubs, Chesterfield and Mansfield in his Football League days joined the Gladiators on a dual registration basis last September.

After a fruitful start to his time at Matlock he was awarded a contract until the end of the coming season and finished as top scorer for Town with 16 goals.

The goals dried up in the latter part of the season and new manager Steve Kittrick does not have Westcarr in his plans for the coming campaign.

"It was decided to terminate Craig´s contract in the best interests of everyone," said Chairman Tom Wright.
