Former Nottingham Forest, Sheffield United and Burnley striker Gareth Taylor is linking up with Manchester City to work in a coaching role with their youngsters.
Taylor, a current first team player at Blue Square Premier side Wrexham, reluctantly accepts that the move will put paid to his playing career.
"I was hoping I would be able to take up the coaching role there, which involves three or four days a week with City, and still help out with Wrexham. That's probably not possible, although I would be free on Saturday's, so I do intend offering Dean any help I can."
The 38 year old hasn't featured regularly for the Red Dragons this season coming off the bench on just one occasion, but last year he notched 6 goals in twenty two starts for the club.
He has admitted it will be a wrench to leave Wrexham and begin a career behind the scenes as opposed to running around on the pitch, "In one respect I'm almost a little disappointed the City offer has come in now, as I'm really enjoying this season and think we have started something special."
"The way the fans reacted to the club's problems in the summer was something I have never witnessed during my years in football and I have been at some very big clubs. It was superb and I think that has brought the players closer together as a squad."
