Was he still under contract or has he moved on a free transfer? If he was contracted was a fee involved?
I can only imagine the calibre of players that we are looking at would make it difficult for him to be involved much going forward. Good luck to the lad though, he was a good servant to the club.

Stevenage have also signed Inih Effiong, so there preparing well for life in our league imho. think they have to quicker than most. they are more or less starting with a blank canvess after their retained list was published.

What a shame, would've expected him to stay and improve with FT status!
I'm hopeful we'll bring in better though

Good luck to him, but there was always a doubt as to whether he was quite good enough for Div1/2 football, & they're the type of players we'll be looking to bring in now. He was one of the players who I thought might benefit most with the move to full time football (along with Minihan). I feel like he has another level or two to move up still. He was FT with Fleetwood, Morecambe and Southport (where he struggled to get in a relegation-threatened NLN team) so not sure what the logic is for that?

Think we had some good performances out of him and certainly one of the better technical and skilful players we had but I also remember quite a few games where he went missing for us. His best spell last season was probably when he had Tom Walker in the same team to play off - they both seemed to compliment each other quite well.
I wish him well but not too downheartened by it - probably shows the change of calibre of player we’ll now be bringing in IMO.

At the moment we'll be looking to sign the finished article, those who have dealt with full time league football, to enable us to get back into the football league asap - once there & bedded in, we can start to explore players who might with the right coaching, benefit us, but next season we need a squad of Warriors who can hit the ground running & get us out of this league

If I remember aright there was a rumour on here[1] recently that he couldn't wait to get away from EP.
[1]Or somewhere, at least.

Would have preferred to have him rather than not; is one of the players I felt would grow with the team and especially with the move to full time - basically, I thought he had a touch of quality. Will reserve judgement overall until we see what the squad looks like when/if the season starts.

We should be looking towards the future now and unfortunately most of last seasons squad are simply not at the level we are setting the bar at to play for Stockport County. football fans of all clubs seem to live in the past regarding players who they saw as decent. as the months do by after they leave they actually seem to get better as memories get shorter.

Stevenage FC 🔴⚪ (@stevenagefc) Tweeted: Welcome to #StevenageFC, Elliot Osborne! ✍️ I'm really surprised at that. I can't blame him for getting a contract and getting paid. Likewise I don't blame the club either it's impossible to plan without knowing when we're going to start up again. Personally I think that opens the way for warby to come back to us. If he does I think he'll be immense.

Slightly surprised but not overly disappointed by that. He was good for us on his day, but as others have noted, there were occasions when he was just anonymous.
A bit of a loss for us, but I think we can replace him. It’s more annoying that Stevenage are strengthening - they’re putting together a good squad there.
Good luck to him either way.

Better is obviously coming in.
I thought he was quite hit and miss.
Not surprised to see some of our fans spinning it as losing our top scorer AGAIN. Nah.
