The Last Of The Conference Play Off 16

Dean Beckwith's departure, confirmed earlier, means that the last of the 16 named for the Conference play-off has left the playing staff at Edgar Street.

While sub on the day Jamie Pitman has returned as club physio, and up to four of that day's side are rumoured to be in line for returns to Edgar Street, Beckwith was the last remaining player from that day just three years ago.

Beckwith made a total of 152 appearances for the Bulls in four seasons, scoring five goals. The last of those goals was on the opening day of this season at Leyton Orient. The 25 year old Londoner was the second longest stayer at Edgar Street, only 'outlived' by Sam Gwynne thanks to his youth team presence.

Also having their departures confirmed today are Stephen O'Leary and Jack MacLeod. O'Leary managed 17 games after arriving towards the end of the August transfer window, scoring a peach of a goal in his debut appearance but then having his season wrecked by injury. MacLeod started only twice, making four sub appearances, in his 18 months at Edgar Street.
