CENTRE-BACK Dan Matsuzaka has announced his departure from Weymouth to join Hendon.

The former Japanese former international scored twice in 30 appearances for the Terras.

However, he fell out of favour with new boss Bobby Wilkinson and was loaned out to Southern League Premier side Hendon in February, staying for the remainder of the season.

The former Southend United defender netted the winner in a 1-0 victory over Braintree Town in November.
