Firstly, I’d like to thank everyone who has shown me support throughout my time at the club, especially Harry and Chris who have been by my side with tremendous support.

I took charge of the team on an interim basis and we achieved some positive results notably in the FA Cup. Unfortunately, since November, league results haven’t matched our performances, and in the best interests of the club — to give it the strongest possible chance of survival in the NPL — I felt it was right that someone new comes in to try and steer the team forward.

It’s been a pleasure and an honour to be involved with the first team for the past seven years, and the experience I’ve gained has been invaluable.

The fans have been truly remarkable throughout my time as manager. The support you’ve shown has meant a great deal to me and is something I will always treasure. I’m sorry I couldn’t be the man to change the course of the season but I have it given it my all. What ever happens this club will always be at my heart

I’m now going to take some time away to reflect, but I hope to see some of you around.

Up the Tigers
