He played in the heart of defence for the next two and half years before he was forced to hang up his boots through injury.He was then handed the task of reserve team manager and first team coach.Along with Kevin Bond and Rob Newman, he lost his job at the start of this season but was almost immediately re-employed as the school of excellence development officer before being handed the chance to manage the first team.
