Dayle Southwell joins Guiseley

Dayle Southwell has left Wycombe Wanderers to join National League side Guiseley for an undisclosed fee.

Southwell, 24, arrived at Adams Park in July 2017 following a prolific spell at National League North side Boston United, but an injury sustained two months later hampered his progress in his maiden year with the Chairboys.

The forward has made just three league starts this season, and boss Gareth Ainsworth feels the time has come for Southwell to explore a new opportunity with Guiseley.

“I had high hopes for Dayle when he came here and unfortunately it just hasn’t worked out how we would have wanted. Nobody could ever fault Dayle’s effort and dedication because he worked his socks off in every training session and every game he played, but he hasn’t been able to force his way into the starting line-up regularly enough.

“He’s a great lad and I’m sure he’ll benefit from regular football at Guiseley. We wish him all the best for the future.”

Southwell leaves the club having made 32 appearances in total, scoring twice.
