Whittle joins Forest Green Rovers

Defender Alex Whittle has today agreed to join League Two club Forest Green Rovers.

The former Dunfermline Athletic and AFC Fylde leftback joined York City two summers ago from Southport and has made a total of 68 appearances for the club.

Manager Martin Gray said: "Alex wanted to play at the highest level possible and play in the Football League. So I can understand (his decision) as it is a very attractive opportunity."

Whittle, 24, made his final City appearance in last month's home game against Kidderminster Harriers.
