Mickleover fans favourite Yusuf Mersin has left the club and will playing in the Northern Premier League for Hyde Utd next season.
After making his debut for the reserves against Linby Colliery in 2024, Yusuf soon became the first choice keeper, with previous first choice player Oliver Bosworth unable to regain his place.
Yusuf saw out the rest of the 23/24 season and only missed a few games last season, while on paternity leave. His move to Hyde will be nearer both his Merseyside home and the Steven Gerrard Academy where he is a coach.
Everyone at Mickleover wishes Yusuf the best of fortunes in his future career and thank him for his valuable contribution to the club.
