He is being replaced by Graham Hyde and Mark Fenemore as joint first-team managers.

Hyde is the club’s full-time coach and holds a UEFA ‘A’ licence and Fenemore is the club’s director of football with extensive experience of non-League football.

Together they will form a powerful partnership which will see the beginning of an exciting playing era at Redditch United.

No assistant-manager is required and any future addition to the staff will be in a coaching capacity.
