Jack Hazlehurst’s move to Burton Albion is a dream come true for the attacker.
That’s the view of Chorley boss Andy Preece after the Magpies ace was snapped up by the League One outfit for a record outgoing transfer fee for the club. It’s only a year since Hazlehurst arrived at Victory Park from NPL West Division outfit City of Liverpool. But his performances over the course of last season, helping the Magpies finish fourth in the National League North, ultimately caught the attention of teams higher up the football pyramid with Burton winning the race for his signature.
'I am gutted to lose him after just one season and I am sure the fans are equally as gutted. 'The offer that we got for Jack was something that we couldn’t turn down – it was close to three-figures up front. A record transfer fee for the club and one of the biggest fees which has been paid for NL North player. 'What an opportunity for Jack. How could we hold him back? 'He’s earned it, some of the goals he’s scored, his work-rate. He’s been a leader both on and off the pitch.
