SHAUN Wilkinson, Steve Tully and Lee Elam have become the first three players to leave Weymouth and capture permanent deals elsewhere.

Wilkinson has joined Nationwide Conference South side Havant & Waterlooville while Tully and Elam have been snapped up by fellow Conference National outfit

Exeter City, who the Terras will travel to on January 20. Arran Lee-Barrett has also left the Dorset club but only on a month's loan to Coca-Cola Championship outfit Coventry. Weymouth chief executive Gary Calder said: "Shaun Wilkinson joined Havant this morning, Steve Tully and Lee Elam have joined Exeter and

we are expecting more to happen over the weekend. We have also spoken to people about bringing players in and we are just waiting for decisions."

It has been rumoured that Ben Smith held talks with AFC Bournemouth on Thursday night and is expected to meet Hereford United and Peterborough United.
