Connell Rawlinson’s remarkable five-year journey at Meadow Lane has come to an end by mutual consent.
The popular defender, who joined at the start of the club’s debut season in the National League, leaves behind a legacy of commitment and passion that has endeared him to fans and teammates alike.
Rawlinson quickly established himself as a mainstay in the first team, earning the Fans’ Player of the Year award thanks to his fervent and dedicated performances. His exceptional efforts on the pitch also saw him share the Players’ Player of the Year title with fellow squad member Kyle Wootton.
Throughout the club's stint in the fifth tier of English football, the 32-year-old remained a pivotal figure in the squad. His dedication and hard work were fittingly rewarded when Cedwyn Scott’s penalty secured the club's return to the English Football League (EFL) – a cherished goal that Rawlinson had always strived to achieve.
Reflecting on Rawlinson's departure, board member Richard Montague expressed heartfelt appreciation for his contributions: “Connell’s contribution throughout his time at Meadow Lane is hugely appreciated by everyone.
“We have no doubt he’ll be a huge asset to his next club and wish him and his young family the very best of luck for the future.”
As Connell Rawlinson bids farewell to Meadow Lane, he leaves behind not just memories of a stalwart defender but also an indelible mark on the club’s history. His passionate displays and unwavering commitment will be fondly remembered by all who witnessed his tenure in black and white.
