“I am extremely proud of what we have achieved over the last 13 years. I would like to thank all of our volunteers and committee members for their incredible support, with special thanks to my long-suffering wife Julie, who has supported me every step of the way, my daughter-in-law Emma for being a brilliant secretary, and all of my family for their continued support.

I would also like to thank every player who has worn the shirt, as well as all the managers and coaches I’ve had the pleasure of working with: Craig Trudgill, Adam Gusterson (he’s back for more), Leon Moore, Nick Howell & Nathan Stone, Danny Crow, and Matthew Halliday.

I have no doubt that the new Chairman will do a fantastic job. He is an exceptional person who will continue to drive the club forward.

I now look forward to my new role as Director of Football, supporting the management team and working closely with our excellent youth set-up to ensure our young players have the facilities and opportunities to progress.

Once again, thank you all for your support.
