He'd said a while ago that he wanted to go back North, nearer home, friends and family.
And at 28 years old, he's no doubt been offered the longest most lucrative contract of his career.
At his age, his Prem club ambitions have long been forgotten. If he's going to get kicked and battered as a striker, he may as well get handsomely paid for doing so.
To a lot of people, including older footballers, naked ambition comes second to security for their family.

In League one, you want a good floor.

Purrington has different attributes and limitations.
But .... you know, if I had to guess who was going to eventually play at a higher level and achieve more in the game ..... well, it probably wouldn't be dear old Ben.

I love people talking about lack of ambition in someone they have never met.
This time last year the only deal he could get was a one year deal at Cambridge, in league 2. Despite his record breaking season at Morecambe that took 3 years. He probably wasn't even on a grand a week.
Now he has signed a 3 year deal, in a part of the country he wants to live. On more money than he could have dreamed about this time last year. He can probably now buy a house, something I doubt he could do before and provide some sort of security to his family, if he has one.
It's not like he has given up a crack at the world cup and champions league is. He will know how good he is, or isn't. Unless he was going to get a first team gig at one of the bigger league 1 clubs, which he wasn't, it's probably the best move he could have got, for him.
Good luck to him. To those questioning his ambition how financially secure were you at 26?18 -

No disrespect intended to @swisdom but the club tried hard to get a bigger company as sponsor and was unable to do so because the value in media exposure isn't there in L1. The previous sponsors have stepped in to the breach again, so well done to them.
To give it some context, the gate receipts for the Sheffield Wednesday game (excluding season tickets) will be way more than the value of this deal. That isn't a slight on anyone, it's just where we are.21 -

Come back the Mercury all is forgiven...
Easy back then, pickup your local newspaper and there's John Bumstead and Steve Gatting plastered all over the back page sporting section.
Times were much simpler.
