FORMER Harriers defender Adrian Viveash yesterday departed Swindon Town by mutual consent after failing to hold down a first team place.

The vastly experienced Viveash made 14 appearances for Harriers over two separate loan spells, and came close to being signed on permanent terms by then boss Jan Molby.

VIVEASH: Departure

The former Reading man leaves the County Ground after racking up close to 450 career appearances and departs Swindon with manager Andy King's best wishes.

"It is unfortunate that things haven't worked out here for Adi," Said King.

"We made the decision that he would not be getting a new contract at the end of the year so by releasing him now, he has a chance to get fixed up with another club.

"He has had some difficult times and even though he hasn't been playing he has maintained a true professionalism."
