We can confirm that Ben Scorey has made the difficult decision to take a break from football. In a message to fans, Ben said: “After picking up a knee injury against Weymouth last season, I worked extremely hard through my rehab to return without surgery. I came back fit and was really enjoying my football again, only to unfortunately get discomfort of the same knee in training. “With another assessment and potentially surgery ahead, I’ve made the difficult decision to take a break from football and focus fully on recovering. I feel that this is the right decision for me, both physically and mentally. “I want to say thank you to the club, the management, the board, the players, Billy Coleman (who I’ve kept busy) and the fans for all their fantastic support throughout my time at Wimborne. “This again hasn’t been an easy decision at all, but I hope I can return to playing for this great club again in the future when the time is right.” Commenting on Ben’s decision, Manager Tim Sills said: “Scorey has been such a great servant to this club and everyone here wanted nothing more than for him to have an injury free season after so much heart ache previously. “Ben is a Rolls Royce of a player and we all want to see him back out on the pitch free from his injury struggles soon. A massive thank you from all the management team for his professionalism and class throughout our four years here and we wish him nothing but the very best.” Ben joined the Magpies in 2021, serving the club with great distinction in that time, and always giving his all during each of his 98 appearances for the club. We look forward to welcoming Ben back when the time is right. #UpTheMagpies
