James Brophy has marked his arrival at Priestfield with his first interview, but he’s also made sure that he’s departed his former club in the best terms possible.
Brophy was released by Cambridge after helping the side to promotion to League One, and swiftly joined Gillingham in a move fans in Kent hope will spearhead a promotion push at Priestfield.
And, as he completed his obligations at Priestfield on his first day as a Gills player, Brophy shared a farewell message to his former club, and their fans.
In a message shared via Cambridge United’s official X account, Brophy opened up on how much his time at Cambridge meant to him as he delivered a classy farewell to his former club.
