Thought it was only right to put it out there.
Thank you to everyone who supported me during my time at Nelson, It has shown me trust & loyalty do still exist.
The club has lost some exceptional talent over the past 24hours just when we finally had the squad we wanted 💙

A massive thank you to everyone involved at the club players current &past. It’s been a roller coaster over the 3 seasons zero playing budget we’ve had play off games, we’ve had relegation battles but I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.
Who knows what’s next as a player or manager
First team manager (
@dazthornton01
) and assistant manager (
@Anthonyharkness
) have stepped down with immediate effect.
A huge thanks to both for their time and effort. Good luck for future football endeavours and beyond.

A great point on reflection but disappointed not to take all 3, an error on half time allowed them back into the game and an outstanding opposition keepers performance meant we only take 1 point.
Some great football and a very strong performance!

Every club I’ve been involved in has had a strong community link and as much as it’s my job to concentrate on the 1st team I feel it’s also my responsibility to build the club from the bottom up and give the youngsters around Nelson a clear route into football.
See you tomorrow!
Following an open letter from the new 1st team manager of Nelson Football Club, we have sent all learners home with a free family pass to watch ALL of Nelson's remaining home games this season FREE of charge. A fantastic opportunity to watch live sport with the family.
