DEFENDER Miles John has departed Chippenham Town to join Cinderford Town.

The 21-year-old former Bath City man joined the Bluebirds during the summer but after being hampered by injury, John failed to force his way into manager Mark Collier’s plans and has opted for a move away from Hardenhuish Park.

Collier said: “Miles has been struggling with injury and has found himself down the pecking order.

“Cinderford Town have offered Miles a guarantee of regular football, something I was not able to do.

“Miles has found it difficult to break into the squad and I wish him well with his new club.”
