Dorking Seek New Manager

Following a meeting of the Board of Dorking Football Club, it has been decided that first team manager Glynn Stephens (pictured) and assistant Steve Hurd will leave their roles at the end of this current season.

The Board would like to place on record the great debt of gratitude everyone at the club owes to Glynn and Steve for the work they have carried out running the first team over the past four years, often under difficult circumstances.

Chief Executive Jason Rabbetts says, "Back in 2013, when the home ground at Meadowbank was closed for health and safety reasons under the previous owners of the club, it is no exaggeration to say that Glynn and Steve's tireless work kept Dorking FC alive at a time when extinction seemed inevitable. From week to week, they found grounds to host games, recruited players, managed the team and carried out the behind-the-scenes work and administration that is required to stage non-league football.

"When our new Board took over the following year, we were able to focus on securing the long term future of Dorking FC and a return to a new Meadowbank stadium, while Glynn and Steve got on with the job of managing the team, totally dependably, achieving incremental improvements in league position for each of the past two seasons."
