BROMSGROVE Sporting’s club-record appearance holder Aaron Roberts has joined rivals Redditch United for the 2025/26 season.
Roberts had initially agreed to remain with Sporting for the upcoming campaign only to suddenly depart the Victoria Ground.
And the defender has now completed a move to local rivals Redditch.
Roberts made a club-record 329 appearances for Sporting where he was vice-captain last season.
He posted a farewell message to Sporting supporters prior to joining Redditch.
Roberts said: “It’s with regret that I announce I will be leaving the club.
“My aim when returning after four seasons away was to both prove myself after leaving under a cloud previously and show the supporters that I was still a dependable and effective player for the club – I can say I have achieved both of these.
“I would like to thank you all, on behalf of myself and my family, for the unwavering support and love you have always showed me.
“I leave with over 300 appearances, for the most special club, to my name.
“As with any time I’ve left the club, I will never close the door to return in whatever capacity that may be.
“I thank the club, board and supporters for a brilliant two seasons.
“The club is in a much better place on and off the pitch than when I returned and we finally have stability to look to the future. Thank you for everything.”
