Rob Purdie has told Bulls News about his announcement this morning that he would be leaving his UITC role:
'I enjoyed my time last season with the youth team and was hoping to push on further with them in the coming year. The boys were a credit to themselves and it was a pleasure to have such a successful season with them.
'UITC have decided not to renew my contract and to go down a different path, it's disappointing as I felt it was just the start of something big but unfortunately that is football.
'I wish the boys all the best and they know they can always give me a call if they ever need anything. Hopefully they can continue to improve and make their way into Professional football, starting at Edgar Street next season.'
