FIRST team coach Ian King has left Worcester City due to personal reasons.

The 41-year-old from Daventry joined the Blue and Whites' backroom staff in the summer following the departure of former joint-boss Matt Gardiner to Kidderminster Harriers.

But after just over three months in the role, King has advised manager Carl Heeley that he wished to leave the Vanarama National League North club.

A club spokesman said: “We wish to thank Ian for his contribution during his short spell with City and wish him the best for the future.”
