Bath City manager Adie Britton has today confirmed that midfielder Alex Russell has left Twerton Park and states that he expects him to be signing for Yeovil Town. The 37 year old was with the Conference National side on a contract that ran until the end of 2010 and is therefore a free agent.
Russell has not been included in Bath's side today, and Britton has confirmed that the player has now left the club, and that he believes he is on his way to Yeovil Town. Speaking to BBC Somerset, Britton paid tribute to a player he labelled as the best he'd seen under his management:
"We weren't too sure how long term it was going to be. Since he came on board I think he's played around 12 games for us and I think we've lost two games. So you can see how well we've done. He's given us a different dimension to our play. We played him in behind the front man in a 4-4-1-1, and he's given us huge ball retention and he's just joined us up as a side. I've got nothing but praise for him. He's done fantastically well for us. He's the best footballer that's been here during the five and a half years that I've been here, and should the opportunity arise I'd love to have him back. But I hope he goes to Yeovil and does a good job for them and gets them out of the trouble that they're in."
