The Executive Committee at Leighton Town FC are disappointed to announce the resignation of First Team Manager Lee Bircham,

effective from today, 3 May 2023.

After a very successful season which has brought step 4 football back to Bell Close, the club has worked very hard to keep Lee. Unfortunately, we are unable to compete with the scale of the offer that Lee has received to join Bedford Town FC. To do so would risk undermining the future financial stability of our football club that we have worked tirelessly to rebuild off the field. Lee goes with our sincere thanks for all his efforts for the club and with our best wishes for the future. He and his family will always be welcome at Bell Close.

The club is moving swiftly to appoint a successor, ideally someone with experience of managing a successful and ambitious football club at step 4/5 and above.

Expressions of interest, accompanied by a football cv, should be made as soon as possible and not later than Monday 7 May.

Please email Director of Football and Vice Chairman, Sean Downey on sdowney0207@outlook.com

We are confident that a strong appointment will be made to take the football club forward and thank all our supporters in advance for their patience whilst this important process is undertaken.

We wish to put on record our disappointment that Bedford Town have chosen to make this announcement before the committee at Leighton Town were able to meet, discuss and agree a statement this evening.
