Tomorrow, we say farewell to Reece Frendo a valued member of the first team setup. Not many know how critical his serves are working countless hours every week attending every training session and games along with treating players as and when required ensuring they are fit for the next match. His work certainly work goes on unnoticed by so many but has so vital in the teams success over the past two seasons.

Reece has become an integral part of everything at Darlaston since arriving with Dean and Turts after working with them for the season they spent at Bilston, he is nothing but a top class physio and is always willing to help everyone at a moments notice and he will be exceptionally and sadly missed.

Reece is leaving us not for pastures new, but for good reason, Reece’s family is due to grow in size very shortly with the pending arrival of a new baby. Reece has heavy work commitmentsand rightly so he wants to ensure that he is around to support his family at the right time.

In speaking to Dean earlier today he said of Reiss. “He has been with me for three seasons and has grown into a tremendous physio, but more importantly he is a lovely young man. Impeccable personality for a team environment and has supported us immensely. He has a bright future in whatever he does. Good Luck Reiss.”

And in commenting about his leaving Reiss said “I can’t thank you all enough for making me feel welcome from the first day I came until now and I have made some memories I will not forget during my time working with Dean and his management team. You are a great bunch of players at a great club, with a great manager and coaches behind you and I have no doubt you will all thrive next season and push for that promotion.” “I am hoping to still be around here and there watching from the side-lines as and when I can. I am sure you and the club will be success next season”.

So tomorrow at 5.00 p.m. we will all say goodbye to Reiss Frendo, someone who is many many people’s good friend and he along with his magic hands will be very sadly missed. Goodbye and thank you my friend.
