Midfielder makes Railwaymen exit

Rix, who made 159 appearances for the club, believes the emergence of many of the Academy graduates has hampered his chances of establishing a first-team place.Chairman John Bowler told the official website: "Ben came through the Academy with us and has been with us for a very long time. He has been a fine servant for the football club."He hasn't been able to establish himself in the first team as much as he would have liked and now feels he needs a fresh challenge elsewhere."I would like to thank Ben for his long service and wish him every success with his career. He will always be welcome here at Crewe Alexandra."
