Carlton Departures
.
Opoku Leaves Carlton Town
By James Gordon
Striker Aaron Opoku has confirmed his departure from Carlton Town. Opoku, 26, scored 14 goals in 34 appearances for Carlton this season, and they finished just outside the play-off places in the NPL Midlands Division. He tweeted: “Sad day but want to say a massive thank you to everyone at Carlton Town. “Had some great memories over my time at the club and met FFL. Carlton fans and mini millers you hold a special place in my heart, thanks for everything.“But now I am looking forward to what the future holds.”
Manager Tommy Brookbanks added: "In the three years since me and Mark took over Azza has been superb for us both on and off the pitch. "On his day absolutely unplayable and a really top guy as well. We will certainly miss him but fully understand his reasoning for leaving and we wish him nothing.but success at wherever he ends up and as I said to him yesterday he is always welcome back to Carlton at anytime."

Re: Carlton Departures
Apparently he wants a club nearer his Manchester home to cut down on travelling. That'a shame as he would have been a good fit for us!

Re: Carlton Departures
PS I google stalked him and got really excited before I realised there is a player in the Budesliga with exactly the same name.

Matlock Town have signed striker Aaron Opoku from Carlton Town
Opoku, 26, scored 14 goals in 38 appearances for the Millers last season, and recently confirmed his decision to move on after four years.
Gladiators boss Paul Phillips said: “We’ve watched him and he’s big, strong, quick and powerful with bags of goals in him. “He’s been a good servant to Carlton in the league below but he’s moving to Manchester and it’s too good an opportunity to miss for we need to add goals to our squad. Darryl Thomas speaks very highly of him and very highly of Matlock. We’re delighted to bring him to the club.”
