Forward Lewis Padmore and midfielder Fortune Sibanda have both left Hinckley AFC to seek more game time.
Sibanda is on the verge of joining a side in the Premier Division, having played 22 times since joining at the start of the season and starting seven of those appearances.
He scored one goal, in the Leicestershire Senior Cup win over ProChance in October.
Padmore, meanwhile, featured 40 times since the start of last season and scored seven times for the club in total. His two goals this season both came in the space of five minutes away to Heath Hayes.
Manager Joe Conneely said: “We couldn’t give either of them the game time they wanted, and it’s not a nice phone call to make on a Friday to tell lads that they won’t be involved the following day.
“Fortune has gone to a side in the Premier Division, and he knows a few of the lads there already.
“Lewis needs to play. He’s got loads of ability but we haven’t been able to get it out of him consistently in two years here. He needs to get that love back.
“Sometimes lads his age don’t make it with their first club and then just stop playing – I don’t want that to happen to him.
“We wish them both well for the future.”
Good luck, Fortune and Lewis!
