Mark Lemm Tuesday, July 23, 2002 12:17 GMT
Reading YMCA midfielder, Andy Bullett has finally announced his decision to leave the club after 3 seasons."Bully", as he was affectionately known within the club, is training with Reading Town and hopes to secure a permanant contract.Bully was plagued with injuries last term and rumours persisted that he was unsettled at the club.In a statement Bully admitted "It's no secret that I have been unsettled at YM in the last season or so and when the opportunity came to join Reading Town I grasped it with both hands. I just feel that I need to test myself at the highest level while I'm still in my prime. I look back at my time with YM with pride and will always have fond memories of the place."Bully was infamous for the energy and enthusiasm he showed on the pitch and is one of those rare breed of players that you rely on when the chips are down. The club wishes Bully all the best at Reading Town and for the coming season.
