BOBBY Bowry has told News Shopper both he and player-manager Simon Osborn are quitting Bromley.
The Lillywhites signed off their campaign on Saturday with a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Dorchester, but it is the long-term future of the club which has led to the exodus from the dugout.
Player-coach Bowry said: "It is true both myself and Simon are leaving the club.
"I don't intend to continue playing next year anyway and we've been told by the chairman the club is up for sale and this didn't really say to me they wanted me to stay.
"The chairman has looked after me very well, but football can be a selfish game sometimes and I've got to make the right move for me."
Osborn, who took on the position midway through the season from Mark Goldberg, confirmed he was leaving and said uncertainty over the club's long-term future had played a key role in his decision.

He said: "I wanted to try and take Bromley to the next level, but financial constraints and Jerry Dolke's decision to sell the club means this will not be possible.
"I didn't just want Bromley FC to become an also ran.
"Jerry couldn't promise or guarantee us a new owner wouldn't come in and get rid of us and change everything, but we agreed to stay on until the end of this season."
Goalkeeping coach Derek Parnham is also set to leave the club.
Bowry and Osborn are not expected to be the only departures from Hayes Lane during the summer with Danny Hockton already being linked with a move to Chelmsford City.
