Stones star Pett earns Stevenage move

By

Wealdstone midfielder Tom Pett has joined League Two side Stevenage for an undisclosed fee.

The 22-year-old scored 18 times for the Stones last season, picking up the club’s player of the year award as they won the Ryman Premier Division title.

His form sparked interest from Football League clubs and he has opted to join Stevenage, who were relegated from League One last term.

Pett originally joined Wealdstone in January 2012 from his hometown club Potters Bar Town and is now heading back to Hertfordshire.

Stones boss Gordon Bartlett said: “We are delighted for Tom and, although we are naturally sorry to see him go, he thoroughly
deserves this great opportunity.

“Tom joins the growing list of young talented Wealdstone players who have developed and moved on to either Conference Premier or Football League clubs in recent seasons.

“I believe it must be virtually one every season for the last 10 years or so, which speaks volumes for our club and enhances our reputation of nurturing young talent.

“Tom leaves with our very best wishes for the future and a big thank you for his outstanding attitude and the superb example he has set during his years at the club.

“As Tom moves on to bigger and better things, we must now focus on our new challenge of the Conference South without him and try to find the next little gem to follow in his footsteps.”
