that our Joint Manager Angelo Harrop is leaving us to take up the vacant manager’s role at Braintree Town.

It is with regret because Angelo has only been with us for one season. And in that time he, along with Rick Andrews and the rest of our management team, has been instrumental in building the start of something special.

But at the same time pleasure because Angelo has been given the opportunity to manage a club currently playing two levels higher than AFC Sudbury. This is clearly an indication that the much used term "pathway" applies at all levels across this great club of ours.

All of us at AFC Sudbury wish Ange’ nothing but success in his new role and at the same time thank him for all of his hard work and enthusiasm during his short time with us.

More on this story will follow on our media outlets during the course of the coming week.
