Speaking more on how Will is as a player, Jon gave a full summary of what to expect from what is a much improved and experienced central defender. Will is just an all round good bloke who’ll represent the Huddersfield Town badge with pride.” He was always one of Cheltenham’s leading community appearance makers, going out and meeting people, going into schools and universities, giving up his time. “He was very popular, he always had time for people – post for photos, sign autographs – and he’s a great ambassador. “Supporters will be sad to see him go but they’ll wish him well, and I think people are really pleased to see him get what seems like a dream move back to a Club that he’s been at before, somewhere that he knows and going back home to Yorkshire, so he’ll be wished well. “I think the supporters expected him to move on once it was announced that he’d turned down a new contract with the club, but it was all very amicable between Will and Cheltenham, no animosity at all and he continued to be an influential figure both on and off the pitch. “It’s quite rare these days to have a player stick around for five and a half seasons, there’s been a lot of change at Cheltenham during that time, but he’s been the one that’s always been there. Having been at the Gloucestershire club for a number of years, Boyle has created a strong bond with the Cheltenham supporters, who’ll be sad to see him go. “As he developed from a 21-year-old who came in from Huddersfield Town, and now going back as a 26-year-old, he’s become a man and his career has blossomed as Cheltenham have progressed up the divisions and he’s been a massive figure in that.” “He progressed as the team did, because when he came in Cheltenham were battling to stay in the Football League so he came into a team struggling and he’s leaving a team that’s just finished in their highest ever league position.
