Ex-York goalkeeper Male: I earned EFL chance - it was gutting to have it taken away
Goalkeeper Harrison Male has spoken about the "surprise" of being released by York City after playing a key role in their promotion from the National League to Sky Bet League Two.
The 25-year-old played 46 games as the Minstermen pipped Rochdale to the title and won Golden Glove after keeping 19 clean sheets.
"It was a surprise. I thought I did well. There's not much more I could've done personally and as a team to be given a new contract," he said, speaking at PFA pre-season.
"But everyone's got their own opinions and football is a game of opinions. Onto the next chapter.
"Nothing was ever put over to me. There was just a phone call and that was it.
"I believe I gave everything for the club. When I first got there, they had just got out of relegation towards the back end of the season and the turnaround we had in the squad in those two years, from finishing second and then getting promoted, was pretty incredible, so it did come as a surprise.
"I'd have loved to have been there for many years, but it's football. If someone doesn't feel like you should be there anymore, that's their decision.
"I believe everything happens for a reason. My path is already there. It will happen at the right time.
"It's every lad's dream to play in the EFL and I believe I warranted that opportunity with how well I've done. For that to be taken away from me is pretty gutting, but I know for certain I will reach the EFL. I want to play as high as possible.
"I'm pretty straight-up and if I didn't feel I was ready, I'd probably say, but I started in step 4 and I've worked my way up, so I've got really good experience in the men's game to really push on."

Arbeloa eyes move for Madrids Garcia
Latest from Your Site News' Lyall Thomas:
Fulhams new head coach Alvaro Arbeloa wants the club to sign Real Madrids Gonzalo Garcia, Your Site News understands.
The former Real youth player is believed to be emerging as a leading target for a new striker - one of their priorities to strengthen this summer after the departure of Raul Jimenez.
Garcia scored six times last season and was more involved after Arbeloa took charge from Xabi Alonso at the Bernabeu. He has 35 LaLiga appearances to his name since making his senior Real debut in 2023.
The 22-year-old is also represented by the same agency as Arbeloa, who was announced as the new Fulham head coach on Tuesday night, succeeding Marco Silva.
Fulham primarily want to strengthen at centre forward, on the wings and in midfield - and Arbeloa is believed to be keen to bring in more than just one Real youth graduate to Craven Cottage.
Fulhams Norway international midfielder Sander Berge is attracting interest - making Manchester Uniteds shortlist among others - as is left-back Antonee Robinson.

Blades boss Chris Wilder said: "He's an exciting player with a bright future and we're delighted to have been entrusted with the next stage of his development," said Blades boss Wilder.
"We've tracked him for a while, and he arrives with the added endorsement from the likes of Keith Andrews and Jack Lester who are two individuals we know and respect from their time working here.

"This is a great opportunity and having spoken with the lad I know he's keen to take it with both hands."

Juventus remain interested in Martinez
Juventus remain interested in Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
Sky in Italy are reporting that there will be a meeting today between relevant officials in Italy that will try to clarify whether a transfer is possible.
Our colleagues say the meeting will be about how much the Bianconeri can or are willing to invest in the keeper, hoping to pave the way for subsequent negotiations with Aston Villa.
Tottenhams Guglielmo Vicario remains a secondary option, but Juventus wants to exhaust all possibilities for Martnez first.
Speaking at the presentation of Sky in Italys programming schedule, Juventus CEO and general manager Giovanni Carnevali said: Martinez is playing (at the World Cup) so we have to wait and see.

We need to evaluate things carefully, especially right now, given that the valuations for some players are excessively highunrealistic figures.
Carnevali also confirmed that they are still trying to sign Randal Kolo Muani last year on loan at Tottenham from Paris Saint-Germain, and that they have an interest in Atletico Madrids Alexander Sorloth.
