as First Team manager of Leighton Town FC.
After finalising adjustments to his career and personal circumstances, Paul, (Reedy), is now able to commit fully to the club, hence the delay in confirming what had been agreed in principle some weeks ago. As ever, the club has acted with integrity and patience, ensuring that the correct protocols were followed to secure his appointment. The club would like to put on record our sincere thanks to our true supporters for their understanding and patience as we worked to bring this process to a conclusion.
Reedy, an outstanding coach, and UEFA 'A' licence holder, has considerable experience in both the Luton Town and more recently Tottenham Hotspur academies. With the continued support of Guy Kefford and new First Team coach Kyle Durcan, (Luton Town FC Academy and a UEFA B licence holder), the club has a strong, well-balanced management team ready to address the challenges we face in our quest to become a successful Step 4 club. The club is in the process of recruiting further members of the management team to establish a young, ambitious, well qualified and talented coaching team who can build a club brand based on high quality match preparation, coaching and player development. Guy, who has done a superb job in holding the reins, will gradually withdraw from 'hands on' team matters and concentrate on a more strategic role in overseeing player recruitment and talent identification.
The new Management Team recognise that there is much work to do to make the team more consistent in their performances and results. This will of course take time, and we ask supporters to be patient and to understand that there will be a period of transition as their expectations, identity, structure and style of play are embedded into the culture of the squad and across the club.
The club will be organising a 'Fans Forum' in the coming weeks where supporters will have the opportunity to meet the new Management Team and hear about their plans and priorities moving forward. Details will follow once a date and time has been agreed.
We look forward to welcoming our supporters to the Freed Veneers Community Stadium tomorrow, where we entertain our friends and rivals from high flying Aylesbury United.
