Former Bristol Rovers midfielder drops down four divisions to make shock non-league move

Former Bristol Rovers midfielder Ed Upson has dropped down four divisions to return to his boyhood club Stowmarket Town in the Isthmian League North Division.

Upson spent last season at League Two Stevenage but after his contract at the Lamex Stadium wasn’t extended, the 32-year-old has elected to return to Suffolk where he began his career as a teenager.

Upson played for Stowmarket as a schoolboy and was part of the Ipswich Town academy, famously scoring the winner in the 2005 FA Youth Cup final when he was just 15.
