As the club adjusts to the departure of long term management duo Garry Wilson and Nick Greenwood the following can be advised to Priory Lane fans.

In the period before a permanent management team can be appointed the club captain Ben Austin will step into the 1st XI management role in a temporary capacity, and he will be supported by other senior players at Priory Lane. In order to allow Ben to carry out the dual role of player and management a familiar face will assist Ben with coaching. Adrian Colwell, who has coached under Garry and Nick at the club previously, will provide assistance at squad training during this interim period.

The club can confirm the appointment of Sam Blanchard as Physiotherapist at Priory Lane and he will be assisted by Becky Jeffries.

The club has already received an impressive number of enquiries for the management hot seat at Priory Lane and an announcement will be made when appropriate.
