Worthing’s Mo Faal exits to go abroad

Worthing marksman Mo Faal has paid tribute to the Sussex side after turning down a new contract to explore opportunities abroad.

The 27-year-old striker, who made two League One appearances for Bolton in the 2019-20 campaign, joined the Rebels from Crawley in September.

Faal went on to finish as the club’s top scorer.

The player netted 22 goals in all competitions, including 13 in National League South.

Appreciation

A statement on the club website read: “Muhammadu Faal has decided to leave the club in order to explore opportunities abroad

“During his time in West Sussex, Mo was not only branded as a great goal scorer, but also a scorer of great goals.

“Stunning volleys against Torquay and Enfield Town will live fondly in the memory and were strong contenders for our Goal of the Season accolade.

“Everyone associated with Worthing Football Club would like to place on record our appreciation for Mo’s service and wish him the very best for the future.

“Farewell Mo, you’re always welcome back at Woodside!”

In response, Faal wrote on twitter: “Big thank you to my teammates, the coaching & medical team, media team & the board who I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and who I’ll miss very dearly!

Wish the club the absolute best and I’ll be watching keenly from afar.”

Rebels boss Chris Agutter has added Sutton United midfielder Harry Ransom to his squad.
