Portland United defender Sam Gadsby has left the club to join Southern League side Bashley.
Gadsby had been a regular in the side and Blues joint manager Josh Hickman has described it as a 'bittersweet' moment after the player's final game against Christchurch.
Hickman said: "We are gutted to lose Sam, it is a bittersweet moment.
"He is a great player and lad and has developed lots as a player and a person at the club."

The defender will now join up with the Hampshire-based side in New Milton and will step u to play in the Southern League Division One.
Whilst Hickman was disappointed to lose a player who has been a regular this season, it is exactly how the club operates by giving youth a platform to showcase their talents.
He added: "It is a massive blow he was a mainstay in the starting 11, but it is what the club is about, to let players play in the Wessex League and then move them on in their careers and give them a place to develop."
