NEIL FEATHERBY has resigned from his position as director of football at UniBond Premier club King's Lynn.

Featherby was in the position for five months but says he no longer has the time needed to fulfil the role.

He told the Linnets' website: "Anyone who knows me will tell you that if I'm involved in anything then I have to give it 100 per cent and anything less is just not good enough.

"King's Lynn Football Club certainly deserves nothing less. At this moment in time this is something regrettably and very disappointingly I cannot do. My business Sportlink has recently relocated which has taken up a considerable amount of time and along with all my other interests, especially the three boxers who I am involved with that have championship fights this year, for that I have to be fully committed to helping them in their quests.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Walks and if nothing else what an experience during an eventful few months.

"Going forward I wish Carl Heggs and Andy Johnson well in their new roles at the club especially having been instrumental in bringing Andy to the club in the first place.

"I do know that he cannot wait to get started in what is a great opportunity for him.

"I also wish the fans who are truly loyal and certainly patient the very best for the coming season and of course the directors and everyone else at the club particularly Ken Bobbins who for me works tirelessly for a cause that hopefully he will one day be rewarded with.

"I will still get along to as many games as I can and will continue to support the club indefinitely."
