□ Personal Comment
"I have decided to leave FC Tokyo. It is very sad to leave the club and I am disappointed to part with my teammates. The two years at FC Tokyo have been a series of valuable experiences for me. There were good times and also times that were not so good, but each of them is a precious memory for me. And I am proud to have worn the number 16 jersey of FC Tokyo. I was blessed with teammates who always greeted me with a smile and coaching staff who always put the players first. I am truly happy to have been able to compete in J1, J3, and ACL with this team and these teammates."
Also, I would like to express my gratitude to all the amazing fans and supporters who have always supported me. Your cheers have always given me strength.
I sincerely hope for FC Tokyo's future success. I am looking forward to being involved with FC Tokyo again in some way in the future. I also plan to check the game results and enjoy each match. Thank you for the wonderful time, memories, and days.
Finally, my soccer career will continue from now on. I would be happy if you could continue to support Nathan BURNS. I will not forget everyone I met at this club. I will not say goodbye. Until we meet again. Thank you very much. GO! F.C.TOKYO!"
