Bournville can confirm that lock forward Nick Murphy has left the club.
Murphy arrived at Avery Fields in the summer of 2023 from Shropshire club Newport and brought with him a wealth of National League experience from his time with Stourbridge.
He became a popular figure during his time at Avery Fields but increased work and family commitments over the past year have made it increasingly difficult for Murphy to find time for rugby commitments.
“Murph is a popular character and we’ll miss having him around the club,” said Bourns Head Coach Alex Grove.
“On behalf of everyone at Bournville, I would like to thank Murph for his contributions to the club. We wish him all the best and he’ll always be welcome back for a beer at Avery Fields.”
Murphy made 36 league appearances for Bournville and played his last match in the pre-season friendly at Sheffield Tigers in August.
