A statement from Eversley said: “After suffering a snapped ACL in the Division One Play-off Semi Final at the end of last season, we are saddened to announce Ali Dickie has curtailed his competitive football career.
“It’s been an absolute pleasure to have Ali at the club with both his on the pitch and off the pitch efforts being exemplary and we wish him luck for the future.”
