Football legend Marcus Stewart has left his role at Yeovil Town Football Club.
In September 2022, he bravely shared news of his Motor Neurone Disease, and now has stepped away from Head of Player Development at the team.
He rejoined the Glovers in June of that year, becoming an integral part of their football operations under then-manager Chris Hargreaves.
As a former Glover and a highly respected figure in the English game, the team say that Marcus brought with him a wealth of experience from a distinguished playing career, including memorable spells at Ipswich Town and Sunderland.
"He will always be welcome at Huish Park"
Bosses added: "His commitment to developing talent and raising standards at Huish Park was clear throughout his time with the club.
"His insight and leadership were instrumental in guiding the squad and mentoring younger players during a key transitional period for Yeovil Town.
"In September 2022, Marcus bravely shared the news of his diagnosis with Motor Neurone Disease (MND), a moment that touched the hearts of supporters across the footballing world. Despite facing this immense personal challenge, he continued to serve the club with dedication and resilience.
"Everyone at Yeovil Town FC wishes to place on record our sincere thanks to Marcus for his contributions both on and off the pitch. He remains a cherished part of our club’s history and a much-admired figure within the wider football community.
"We extend our very best wishes to Marcus and his family as he continues his fight with dignity and courage.
"He will always be welcome at Huish Park."
