CLUB STATEMENT | Lee Allinson

The club can today confirm that Lee Allison has decided to move to Dagenham & Redbridge as their

first team manager with immediate effect.

We had agreed with Lee and his management team that they would have remained in place for

2026/27 to continue the work carried out over the past 18 months and planning had already been

put in place for pre-season and beyond. We are extremely disappointed with the timing of his

decision.

However, once Lee had indicated that he wished to pursue the opportunity within a full time role it

was clear that we needed to move forward quickly in order to shape our playing group for next

season.

The board would like to put on record its thanks to Lee and the management team for their hard

work over the past 18 months, and we wish him well as he departs for a new venture.

The board are already in the process of selecting a new manager and ensuring that we continue to

build on the momentum built on and off the pitch over the last 18 months.

We will continue to update supporters through our normal channels.

THE BOARD
