We are delighted to announce that Ritchie Sutton has been appointed as the new Nantwich Town Manager, along with Gary Taylor-Fletcher.
Acting Chairman John Dunning said: “we have been overwhelmed by the quality of applicants and interest in the position. We are conscious of the importance of retaining the soul, locality, empathy and some of the key elements put in place over the past years that have seen us continue to develop in all areas and create more memorable and successful occasions, whilst remaining competitive at this level and in Ritchie we feel that we have a young enthusiastic, highly qualified manager, with a fresh outlook and ideas, and with a personal history, association and understanding of the club and its ideals and culture, but most importantly a shared vision and passion for our future ambitions and development”.
John Dunning also added “We are also delighted to have obtained the services of Gary Taylor-Fletcher who is a highly respected and qualified coach and the experience that Gary has gained in a distinguished playing career from non-league to the Premier League, along with taking Bangor City to the Europa League in his first managerial position, will be a great asset to the club and I am sure that you will all join us in making Ritchie and Gary welcome as they undertake the exciting task of taking us on this next exciting chapter of our journey”.
Ritchie Sutton said: “I am delighted and honoured to be given the opportunity to be Manager of Nantwich Town Football Club. What myself and Gary have achieved over the past two weeks along with the rest of the staff and players with the full backing of the board is something that we are all immensely proud of.
“Nantwich is a club extremely close to my heart having been a player here and being a part of the community most of my life and collectively we are looking to use our passion and knowledge along with the ethos of the club and the supporters to build on the excellent foundations that are already in place at Nantwich Town.
“We’re looking forward to getting started on this fantastic project and start by preparing for this Saturday’s match against Whitby Town and I’d like to thank everyone in advance for your overwhelming and continued support.”
