Romford goalkeeper George Sapsford is leaving the club because personal commitments and future plans conflict with his availability.
Sapsford joined at the start of this season. He saved three penalties in the shoot-out in the Essex Senior Cup tie against Harwich & Parkeston, and more recently has stood in for the injured Lamar Johnson.
His father, Garry, said: "We are so grateful for the opportunities that George has had at Romford. To get opportunities to play men's football as a goalkeeper at 18 is rare and he has learned a lot from the experience. A clean sheet and 3 penalty saves on his debut will be something he never forgets."
Romford's next fixture is against Frenford at Mayesbrook Park.
