Wildey leaves after seven seasons

Michael Wilde
Michael Wilde - seven seasons at TNS.
THE persistent rumours about Michael Wilde have turned out to be true as the striker today signed for Fleetwood Town.
Wilde follows team-mate and centre-half Michael Taylor, who moved to the Blue Square North Codmen earlier this month.
A hard working forward who joined TNS as a 19-year-old from Poulton Victoria, Wilde scored 89 Welsh Premier goals from 135 appearances for the club and quickly became a fans' favourite, winning Supporters' Player of the Year awards in 2004/5 and 2005/6, and was chosen by the league managers for the 2005/6 dream team.
He won three championship medals along with Welsh Cup and League Cup medals while with the Saints and also scored against FK Ventspils in the 3-2 Champions League victory last season.
His robust style and effective hold-up play will be sorely missed at TNS, while Fleetwood chairman Andy Pilley says: "Michael Wilde is a player manager Micky Mellon has been monitoring for sometime.
"The club has fought hard to beat-off several Football Conference clubs to win Mike's signature and he becomes a major part of our exciting plans at Highbury."
