“As Neil will be player-manager, I will have a big responsibility in training and managing the lads from the side, I have every confidence in myself and Neil to bring the club success and take the club to the next level.

“Having met with Frank and Joe Doran, I can see how passionate and professional they are about the club. The Club and Facilities are fantastic and we feel that it is exciting times ahead, for everyone involved.

“I am Looking forward to meeting the players and starting pre-season with them on Saturday - to me and Neil it can't come soon enough.

Prince added: “I am delighted to appoint James as my assistant. I am confident that together we can achieve good things in the game and that we complement each other very well.

“James has a vast amount of knowledge and experience of non-League football and I'm sure the lads will enjoy working with him. It will make things easier for me while I'm on the pitch, knowing I can trust James to make the right decisions. We can't wait to get started.”
