Boreham Wood stalwart Femi Ilesanmi has opted to leave Meadow Park after rejecting a contract offer for next season.

The 35-year-old defender, who featured 370 times for Wood in all competitions over two separate spells, was the club's longest-serving player and took his farewell bow in their play-off final defeat to Rochdale in May.

Ilesanmi, who began his career at AFC Wimbledon before spending a year at QPR, originally joined Wood in 2016 after leaving York City.

He moved to Dover a year later, but returned after a single season and went on to help Wood gain promotion back to the National League in 2025, as well as winning the National League Cup in his final year.

"I wish him nothing but success," said manager Luke Garrard. "I have no doubt that wherever he signs, they will be getting a true professional and a man that gives nothing but 100%."
