Long-serving Neal to leave promoted Truro City

Truro City striker Andrew Neal is to leave the club following their promotion to the National League.

The 32-year-old, nicknamed 'Rocky' has spent the last five seasons at the Tinners - his second stint after a two-year spell from 2016 to 2018.

He has scored 70 goals across his time at the club - helping seal two promotions after they went up from the Southern League in 2023.

Neal scored Truro's final goal of this season in their 5-2 win over St Albans City that secured them the National League South title on the final day.

“I have been lucky enough to experience some great success with the club and meet some great people who I'll consider friends for life,” Neal told the club website.

"I'll always be proud of the two promotions and the goal against St Albans, to send the club into the National League, will be one I forever treasure.

"I'd like to say thank you to all the fans for their support over the years, especially through the tough times where we had to play away from home for such long periods.

"I'm truly gutted to be leaving the club, but with the new full-time schedule, it's just something I can't commit to.”

Truro have also released Dan Lincoln, Jamil Roberts and Faren Simons.

But City have taken up options to extend the contracts of captain Connor Riley-Lowe as well as Jaze Kabia, Will Dean and Ryan Law.

Truro have made a contract offer to forward Dominic Johnson-Fisher and are continuing talks with Billy Palfrey and Dan Rooney.

The remaining nine members of the Truro squad are all already under contract for next season.
