Leamington captain Tony
Breeden has been released by the club after he reportedly broke teammate Jack
Edwards' nose following a training ground bust-up.
Edwards
was forced to sit out Saturday’s friendly win over West Bromwich Albion
Under-23s, while Breeden’s place in goal was taken by trialist.
A statement
reads: “The club can confirm that goalkeeper and captain Tony Breeden has left
the club following an incident at training last week.
“We have mutually
agreed the termination of his contract with Tony accepting that his conduct
fell well short of accepted behaviour.
“He leaves the
Brakes after three spells at the club in which he has amassed close to 300
appearances.”
Meanwhile, Breeden tweeted: “Officially left Leamington, not how I
wanted to but down to my poor actions.
“Good luck in the
future and sorry to fans, staff and players who I’ve (let) down. I know you all held me in high regard and the support I received literally
weekly from you all made me feel so proud to represent your club. Good luck.”
