JONO McMillan has announced that he is stepping down as assistant coach to Ben Rhydding's men's first team.

He has spent three tough years working alongside coach Demy Dowley and steps down after the side were relegated from the North Men's Premier League.

During his tenure the team played 65 games, won 32, drew 10 and lost 23. Fifteen of the defeats came this season.

His presence, humour and organisation amongst the group will be dearly missed with one player,

Team member Elliot Dowley said: "Jono has been an inspiration to me. He is always positive."

Max Helme added: "The team without Jono will be nothing to me, he's a father to all of us".

McMillan will continue to coach the girls and watch matches from the sidelines.
