The player exodus is continuing at National League North club King's Lynn Town.

The Norfolk side have seen 10 players leave this summer, with the latest, Christian Oxlade-Chamberlain, jumping ship to National League newbies Kidderminster Harriers.

Harriers have signed the player, comfortable in midfield and defence, on a two-year deal.

King's Lynn were relegated were promoted - and then relegated - from the National League and were hoping for an instant return.

But their play-offs dream was ended by Harriers, who went on to beat Brackley in the final.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, brother of England's Alex, made 37 appearances and scored two goals last season.

He now joins Theo Widdrington, Aaron Jones, Tai Fleming, Michael Clunan, Tyler Denton, Gold Omotayo, Ben Siggers, Zain Walker, Jack Morrell and Tyler Knowles to depart the club over the summer.

The Linnets have welcomed two new signings to the club, midfielder Jack Smith has joined the Linnets from League One side Stevenage and the versatile Emmanuel Oke from Margate.
