Johnson has featured 11 times for Long Eaton United since the 18-year-old made his debut for the club in November 2023 against AFC Sudbury.

Coming through the ranks at our academy, Johnson also played in our U21s double-winning side last season scoring five goals.

“It’s with disappointment we unfortunately are going to lose Casey" said first-team manager Brad Munn "but with a sense of pride that we have played a good part in his development as a club and coaching staff.

"We hide nothing from the fact that we wanted to keep Casey but as a young player he wanted to test himself at step 3."

Munn added: "I certainly wish Casey all the best with the new move as he is a very good young player with bags of potential.

"Go well young man and good luck!"
