TAUNTON Town have announced that defender Nuno Felix has left the club, to join Melksham Town.

Melksham, who play in Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 South (one level below the Peacocks), submitted a seven-day approach for the full-back, which Taunton have waived.

Felix arrived at the Viridor Stadium in March for his second spell at the club, helping them win the league title last season.

But this campaign has seen him struggle for game time, especially with new boss Rob Dray tending to favour playing four at the back.

Pierce Mitchell and Shane White have been his favoured full-back selections, and last week saw Taunton sign versatile left-footed player Lewis Hall from Hereford.
