After eleven unforgettable seasons in red, club captain and fans’ favourite David Symington has announced his retirement from football.
From making his debut during the 2014/15 season to becoming one of the most influential players of a generation at Workington AFC, Dav leaves behind a legacy that will take some replacing.
Across 296 starts and 54 substitute appearances, he scored an incredible 113 competitive goals for the Reds — alongside a further 19 goals in 56 non-competitive appearances. Numbers that only tell part of the story.
A talisman on the pitch, a leader in the dressing room, and one of the most respected figures around the football club, Dav has played a huge role in so many memorable moments across the last decade.
Whether it was spectacular goals, big performances in important moments, or simply the standards he set every single day around the club, he represented Workington AFC with pride, passion and commitment throughout.
Football clubs are built on people as much as players — and Dav has been a massive part of this club both on and off the pitch.
Everyone at Workington AFC would like to thank Dav for everything he has given to the club and wish him and his family nothing but the very best for the future.
Once a Red, always a Red ❤️
