Forgotten Premier League star quits non-league minnows to join 24TH CLUB of his football career in latest free transfer
LEROY LITA is set to join the 24th club of his football career after leaving non-league Coalville Town.
The 39-year-old had only joined the seventh tier side in January but is on the move once again already.
Coalville confirmed in a statement that he has departed the club after an approach from another club.
It comes just two months after he had arrived from Nuneaton Borough when the club entered liquidation.
The Ravens’ statement read: “We can confirm that following a 7 day approach from a league rival, Leroy Lita will be departing the club.
“He leaves with our best wishes and we thank Leroy for his efforts during his short spell after joining from Nuneaton Borough.”
Coalville are currently 11th in the Southern League Premier Division Central.
Lita will now join his 24th club of his career, which includes spells in both Greece and Thailand.
The striker has been in non-league since returning to England in 2018.
During that time, Lita has featured for nine different sides, including Coalville.
