Turnbull wishes Cobblers all the best as McCormack says he'll 'always be a fan' in goodbye messages to supporters

Alan McCormack and Jordan Turnbull have posted goodbye messages to Cobblers supporters after they were released by the club on Thursday.

Turnbull, 25, was arguably the most surprising name featured on Keith Curle's released list following an excellent season in Town's formidable back three.

But the former Coventry man will depart after 94 appearances and five goals in two and a half years at Sixfields.

Turnbull posted on Twitter: "Massive thank you to everyone @ntfc and most importantly the fans for always supporting me.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the club and I feel very proud to be part of this group of lads winning promotion finally, I want to wish the club every success in the future."

McCormack, meanwhile, made a big impression during his 12 months at the Cobblers and was instrumental in their recent play-off success.

"What a year the last year has been," he said. "Many many friends made but even more, many many memories that I will never forget.

"To leave this club on a promotion with this group of staff and players is a privilege. Thank you to the gaffer, all the staff and let's not forget the support you gave. Thank you for everything.

"I wish all the players, staff and gaffer all the very best for next year and beyond. I'll always be a fan now. See you all soon."

Goalkeeper David Cornell is another to leave the club after four years. He posted: "Just want to say a massive thank you to everyone involved at NTFC.

"I feel now is the time to move on so I'd like to thank all the staff for their hard work, my fellow playing professionals for a great team environment and of course all the fans that have made my time here thoroughly enjoyable.

"I wish you all the best for next season."

Paul Anderson tweeted: "To the Cobblers, let's keep this short and sweet just like my time this season, what a group of lads but what an amazing club.

"I'm proud to have been a part of something so incredible this year. All the best."

Sean Whaler was also released on Thursday and he tweeted: "After being at NTFC for the past 11 years, sadly my time has come to an end.

"A dream of mine became reality to play the game professionally and I thank everyone at the club for helping me get there sometimes lucks just not on your side but excited for the next challenge."

Jay Williams added: "Seven years, been a pleasure. I'll see you around NTFC."
