He tool to his Twitter account to announce his decision.
“The togetherness, the honesty and warmth of the people in and around the club is simply amazing.

“I also want to say thank you and goodbye to Paul Cook and his staff, the team and the whole Tics Family @LaticsOfficial It’s been a very short & super intense time and I’m happy to have played my part in it.
“Regardless I will always remember this as a very special time in my career, in a very special place with a very special club full of very special people.
