BLUEBELLS SPELL WAS A BRITT OF ALRIGHT
PAUL BRITTON has hailed his four years managing Yate Town as an “honour and a privilege” after stepping down this week.
The Southern League Premier South Bluebells are looking for a new manager after Britton and his touchline team left Lodge Road on Monday.
A former Bristol Rovers youth coach, ex-Bitton and Longwell Sports boss, Britton was appointed in April 2016 as the successor to Craig Laird.
He went on to mastermind the club’s promotion back to the Southern League’s Premier Division South as playoffs winners in 2018-19.
Britton told the club’s website: “It has been an honour and a privilege to manage this football club.
“Throughout our time here we have endeavoured to do our best for Yate Town FC.
“Hopefully, we have given you something to enjoy during our tenure. There have been challenges and we have had plenty of ups and downs during the last four years.
“Our task was to maintain Southern League status with limited resources which we all achieved. In our third season we managed to gain promotion into the Southern Premier Division which was an incredible experience, to then maintain that position was a fantastic achievement.
“I hope you all agree we now leave the club in a much better position on the pitch than when we arrived. I firmly believe we have over-achieved in our time and we are rightly very proud of this success.”
