I’m bitterly disappointed to be leaving the club in the manner it has happened.

I was hoping everything would get sorted out because I would like to think that all three of us have done a reasonable job of keeping the team in the division. We all worked very hard last season and over the summer to make sure we were in a better position to be starting the next campaign.

Things have dragged on and the uncertainty of who would be in charge and whether all three of us would still be here has been hard but we have all just carried on as normal but the Chairman has decided that there’s only funding for one coach so it’s me that’s left.

I really enjoyed working there, the fans were great and I had a great relationship with Les and Shaun and the rest of the staff. It’s been an education and an experience which I hope will stand me in good stead, when another opportunity arises.
