Striker relieved to end 'nightmare'

<div style='background-color: #CC0033;'><a href='http://www.rsspump.com/?web_widget/rss_ticker/news_widget' title='News Widget'>News Widget</a></div>

Departed striker Oli Johnson says it was a relief to leave York City following a 'nightmare' time at Bootham Crescent.

"I knew that leaving was the best thing for me and the club" - Oli Johnson
The 25-year-old former Norwich City forward left the club by mutual consent last week after managing just seven appearances since arriving from Oxford United last summer.

"It is a relief to get away from York," Johnson told the Wakefield Express. "It has been a nightmare year and I never got going. I have had injury problems all season and although I had an operation last December, the injuries came back and the pain got worse.

"I played through the pain barrier but I couldn't do myself justice and it probably made things worse to try and play instead of getting it sorted," he added. "I knew that leaving was the best thing for me and the club."
