MICAH Bleau has left FC United, although the club will retain his registration for this season.

The big central defender has joined AFC Emley, close to his Yorkshire home, and is able to stay registered with the Rebels as his new club plays in the Northern Counties East League.

Bleau had a traumatic time on the opening match of the season as FC drew 3-3 with Matlock, and has not figured in the first team since.

With Jacob Wood impressing on his debut at Bradford Park Avenue last week, Adam Turner due back from suspension next week and Rob Nugent due to return from injury in the near future, Bleau was dropping down the pecking order.

FC are also set to allow former Manchester City youngster James Brackenridge out on loan to gain fitness, while Kyle Harrop has already joined Bacup Borough on a temporary basis to get some match practice.
