JACK Simpson has walked out on Ramsbottom CC after being sacked as captain.
The wicketkeeper and opening bat was informed by letter that he would no longer lead the side.
He has said he will not play for Ramsbottom again nor serve on the club's committee.
"I'm very hurt by the way the whole situation has been handled," said Simpson.
"It would be fair to say I'm gutted."
