Ben was appointed manager in the summer of 2014 having previously served as assistant manager since 2012. Ben stabilised the club following relegation from the Isthmian Premier Division in 2015 and oversaw a year on year improvement in the Isthmian North Division.

Unfortunately, this was interrupted by the Covid outbreak when the Club were enjoying great success on the pitch in both league and cup and two aborted seasons prevented the squad from achieving its full potential.

The following two seasons have been inconsistent and following several meetings this week it has been decided that the club will go in a different direction. The Club will use the remaining two months of the season to plan ahead so that we are in a strong position to start the 2023-24 campaign.

We would like to thank Ben for his service to the club over the past 11 years, both with the First Team and also in his position with the Club’s academy partnership with West Suffolk College and Culford School which he will continue to head up alongside Joe Yaxley.

We wish Ben every success with his future career, and he will always be welcome at Ram Meadow.

Assistant Manager Alex Rossis and the clubs remaining coaching staff will be in temporary charge for this Saturday’s Isthmian League away fixture at Basildon United.
We hope that our supporters will continue to back the players and staff during what will be a transitional period for the Club.

The Club will make a statement on the vacant managers position in due course.
