Rovers manager Gary Ansell has admitted that although it is a blow to lose midfielder Tom Ranger, he won't stand in the way of any progression of a player at the club.
Ansell stated "Great Wakering Rovers, and Hullbridge Sports before us, can take great pride in the the move that Tom Ranger has taken today. Both clubs have played a big part in Tom's development as a player."
He continued "Tom has been a superb asset to Rovers during his time with the club and as I always knew, he would get the opportunity to ply his trade at a better level. It has been a pleasure to work with him and I wish him all the success in the future".
