Nick brings a wealth of non-league experience to the role, having previously managed AFC Dunkirk, Sandiacre Town, and of course Eastwood FC's own First Team — making him a familiar and trusted face within the club.

His knowledge of the game at this level, combined with his understanding of what we're building here at Eastwood, makes him the ideal person to lead the reserves and play an important role in the club's wider development pathway.

Steve Kirkham, Managing Director at Eastwood FC, said: "Nick is someone I know well and trust completely. He understands this club, he understands non-league, and he knows what it takes to get the best out of players. The reserves are an important part of what we're building here — they're a bridge between the academy and the first team — and I'm delighted to have Nick leading that. Welcome back to Eastwood."
