OXFORD City have suffered a huge blow with the influential Rob Sinclair leaving by mutual agreement.

The club said a 'change in personal circumstances' has meant the midfielder is no longer able to continue playing for City.

Sinclair has scored 15 goals in 53 appearances in the past 18 months, including five in the club's superb FA Cup runs.

It is the second high-profile departure in the last 24 hours with assistant manager Joe Deeney also leaving to take charge at Hemel Hempstead.
