Simon Weaver has revealed his decision to quit Blue Square North club Boston United for King's Lynn was down to money.
Weaver's six-month spell as a United player came to an end when the former Lincoln defender failed to agree a new contract with the club and opted to sign for King's Lynn.
United boss Tommy Taylor was keen to hold onto the 30-year-old defender but was restricted on the offer he could make thanks to a cut in the wages at the club.
Weaver travelling from his North Yorkshire home felt that the commute required to York Street was too much on the wages offered and will instead play for the Linnets whilst also working outside the game.
"I was hoping to stay, but was asked to take a major drop in wages," Weaver told the Sports Echo.
"I have to travel from Wetherby and on the money I was offered, I don't think I could have done it.
"I would have been happy to accept a drop in wages, but not what I was being offered."
Weaver leaves with no bad feelings towards the club and was thankful for the support handed to him by the Pilgrims faithful.
"It's disappointing, but there are no hard feelings from me," he added.
"Tommy Taylor is an honest guy and I'm sure he did what he could.
"I'm going to miss the club because they have a great set of fans. They give you great support and they are big crowds for that level."
