Two departures from Morpeth Town

The pacy hit-man has moved on to the fellow NPL Premier Hornets after seven years at Craik Park.

"I'm really excited to join Hebburn," Foalle told Hebburn’s official website.

"I spoke to Bobby (Daniel Moore) last season and it wasn't the right time, but now it's the perfect opportunity and I'm looking forward to it.”

"Bobby's very passionate about everything he does and that fits in with myself. I die by the sword on the football pitch so I think we're very similar.”

"I'm looking forward to getting started here and I can't wait to get going."

Foalle scored 65 goals in 239 appearances for Morpeth after joining the side from Whitley Bay.

Also moving on from the amber and blacks is defender Leon Gibson-Booth.

The left-sided player signed following a loan spell from York City last term.

“Morpeth as a club has been a real joy to play for and I’ve had an unbelievable experience this year in my first year of senior football,” he told Morpeth’s official website.

“I can’t thank the management, players and fans enough for what they have done for me and how they made me feel since day one.”

“I’ve enjoyed every second of wearing the shirt and have some great memories which I’ll cherish forever, and wish everyone good luck for next season.”
