THE player who scored both goals in Phil Parkinson's first win as Wrexham manager has left a National League club where he served as first-team strength and conditioning coach and joint interim manager.
Jake Hyde has parted company with Woking, who are 12th in the fifth tier, for personal reasons.
Hyde signed for the Reds from Halifax Town in July 2021, shortly after Parkinson took charge at The Racecourse.
After Wrexham drew 2-2 at Solihull Moors on the opening day of the 2021-22 National League campaign - Parkinson's first competitive match as Reds chief - the striker scored both goals in a 2-0 victory over Eastleigh the following weekend.
Hyde left Wrexham in the summer of 2023 and he brought an end to his 20-year professional playing career at the end of last season having last turned out for Woking.
When former Tottenham and England frontman Jermaine Defoe had his contract at the National League side mutually terminated in July, having only begun his first managerial role in March, Hyde was appointed joint interim boss of the Cards along with Craig Ross.
But the Cards have confirmed that Hyde, who scored 31 goals in 73 appearances for the club, has left The Kingfield Stadium.

Hyde told the club: "I’m super thankful for the opportunity the club has given me. I’ve loved every minute, learnt so much and made memories I’ll always look back on fondly, both as a player and as part of the management team.
"The experience has made me a better person and strengthened my connection to the club even more.
"I’ve been lucky to see every element of this football club, and I’m so grateful to the fans, the staff, the players and everyone who has had my back. The support means a lot. I wouldn’t have done the role for as long as I have if this club wasn’t what it is.
"My business is growing, and I can’t give the club the full commitment I’d love to. This is the break I need to progress, but it won’t be the end of me in football. I’m confident the club is in a fantastic place and that everything is moving forward. I’m looking forward to watching as a fan and seeing the team achieve success."
