Tyler on his departure: “It’s been a hell of a journey, coming straight out of college into senior football and then going on a run of three promotions in three seasons, not many get better than that. It’s been incredibly enjoyable, and I’ve come a long way. A big thank you to everyone involved, whether it was from season one all the way through to now, for all the support they’ve shown.”
Everyone at Real Bedford would like to thank Tyler for his outstanding contribution to the club, congratulate him on everything he achieved during his time with the Pirates, and wish him every success in the next chapter of his career.
