A summer signing from Brackley Town, his 20 goals in all competitions had put him on the watchlist for several clubs. It was the Ravens that swooped first to trigger his release clause, which was a condition of him signing this summer, and putting a deal to the 23-year-old that he has accepted.

Club director of football Bill Williams said: “Let me say from the outset that we are all very disappointed to see Levi go and I know that view will be shared by everyone at our club. He’s been a revelation this season and his goals have played a crucial part in our league and cup success to date.

“I truly believed he would see out this season with us, despite the interest we were expecting leading up to and during the January transfer window. He expressed a wish to stay and we offered terms to extend his contract. However, Bromley made him an exceptional offer that he felt he couldn’t turn down and we simply couldn’t compete with it.

“We mustn’t forget that Levi was injured recently and we were reckoning on being without him anyway till end January. Now George, Craig, Zach and myself are already actively in the market searching for a replacement striker. We are also working on several other squad contract extensions.”

Levi made 26 appearances in all competitions for the Stones. The last of those was in the FA Cup second round against Barrow, when he was substituted just before half time after picking up his injury.

An instant fans’ favourite, he was voted Player of the Month in September and November. He leaves with our best wishes for the future.
