Jerry Gill has signed a new contract which will keep him at Bath City until at least May, 2021. The Romans are enjoying a fine season - they’re 6th and in the National League South play-offs - and Gill wants to push on to “bring success” to Twerton Park. Gill arrived as manager in October 2017 for what has been his first senior managerial appointment. Once he got the players he wanted and fostered the style he desired, there has been a steady improvement in the team’s performances and results. “Naturally I am delighted to have agreed a new long-term contract with the football club,” said Gill. “I have thoroughly enjoyed the process of building not only a competitive squad, but also creating a new club philosophy on and off the pitch. “I really do feel it’s a very exciting time to manage and be part of Bath City Football Club, with the competitive aspirations on the pitch alongside the vision of the redevelopment plans. “The brand of football is very important to us all but it’s the type of people that help you create the environment. “The team is full of talent but, more importantly, we now have the right type of person playing for the football club who are here for all the right reasons.i’d like to thank the players for all their hard work and commitment to date.” Gill has been backed by the board and also wanted to thank them. He added: “A special mention to Paul Williams for all his day-to-day support which enables me to do my job to my best capabilities. “A big thank you to Nick Blofeld and the board of directors for their support and trust in me.also to my support staff Jim, Jason, Lee and Kit who work so hard alongside me so the players get all they need each and every week. “There are too many club staff, volunteers and people to mention that have gone out of their way to help me, but they’re always appreciated. “And to the supporters a huge thank you for your patience, shared vision and the fantastic support you have given me since I arrived at the Club. “As a staff and squad of players, we are determined to bring further success for this wonderful football club of ours. The play-offs have been our realistic target since the first day of preseason and currently we stand in a strong position to consolidate that.”
