Solihull Moors defender Alex Whitmore has made a surprise return to the club after reversing his decision to leave at the end of last season. The 30-year-old centre-back, who has made over 150 appearances for Moors since joining from AFC Fylde three years ago, announced his departure in April but has now changed his mind.
What changed Whitmore’s mind?
Whitmore told the club’s website that after speaking with his family over the summer, he realised he still had the passion to continue playing. He said: “This club is the best place for me to enjoy my football. I had the most enjoyable time in my career here and I’m really happy to get the chance to continue.”
What does this mean for Solihull Moors?
Whitmore’s return is a boost for Solihull Moors, who finished 14th in the National League last season with 56 points, 14 wins, 14 draws, and 18 losses. The team scored 71 goals and conceded 72, finishing with a -1 goal difference. Whitmore was ever-present in the National League last season, and his experience will be crucial as the team looks to improve in the upcoming campaign.
What’s next for Whitmore and Solihull Moors?
Solihull Moors ended last season on a high, winning their last two games, including a 4-1 victory over Yeovil Town on April 25, 2026. With Whitmore back in the squad, the team will be looking to build on this momentum and challenge for a higher position in the National League next season.
