Leighton returns!

We're delighted to confirm that Leighton Jones returns to the club as Head Coach with immediate effect

Leighton needs no introduction having already lead the club with distinction as both a player and coach. He returns after a 2 year sabbatical and is looking forward to getting stuck back in

Owner Peter Jeffreys said 'After I'd spoken with Tom there was only really one choice for me and when I then spoke to Leighton it took him a matter of seconds to agree his return. I've always valued Leightons no-nonsense approach and I feel that's exactly what we need now given our current performances. I look forward to welcoming him back into the camp this week as the boys return from their week off'

Leighton said 'I can't wait to back on the pitch with the boys and am fully recharged after 2 years out of the semi-pro game. There are many familiar faces at the club still alongside plenty of new faces and I'm looking forward to getting involved with all of them'

He added 'I've enjoyed watching from the bank over the past couple of years and it's given me a totally different perspective. I feel for Tom as he's a top quality coach and I know we'll share the same frustrations as to how the talented squad that he assembled hasn't translated into results. As a squad we'll be having some very honest conversations this week to try and understand how we can improve immediately - This club has such high standards and we're not currently where we want to be

Welcome back Leighton
