Steve was made an offer to stay as part of new manager Graeme Jones’ staff, but expressed a desire to work abroad again and has opted to rejoin his former Panathinaikos boss Giannis Anastasiou at the Athens club, who have qualified for the Europa League.

While naturally disappointed to see him depart, we would like to thank Steve immensely for his valuable contribution to the record-breaking 28-game unbeaten run that helped the Town win promotion as League One champions after joining the club last October, a period in which we suffered just three defeats.

All at LTFC wish Steve every success for the rest of his career and look forward to seeing him back at Kenilworth Road for a visit whenever the opportunity arises.
