Presteigne St Andrews FC are delighted to confirm Shaun Harris has been appointed the club’s new first-team manager.

Club chairman Andrew Crowe said the committee was delighted to have attracted someone of Shaun’s obvious abilities.

“When we first met with Shaun we felt he would be a very strong candidate,” he said.

“As well as his obvious coaching experience the overwhelming aspect that came across was Shaun’s enthusiasm and drive.

“Crucially, he feels Presteigne is a very good fit for him as he looks to step up from being head coach and back to the manager’s job.

“Shaun has already been to Llanandras Park on a couple of occasions and may well be in the dugout for the final game of the Spar Mid Wales League season in which we will host Churchstoke on Wednesday, 5 April,” he added.

Shaun Harris was formerly manager at Kington Town FC and has most recently been head coach with Hay St Mary’s FC.

“I am really pleased to have been offered the post at Presteigne St Andrews and am looking forward to the challenges ahead,” he said.

“While a look at the league table would tell you there is clearly work to be done, the club has some good young players.

“My predecessor Tom Ammonds deserves a lot of credit for the work he’s done this season and the challenge now is to build on that.

“With a few additions, I am confident we can put together a competitive squad for next season.”

Welcome to Llanandras Park, Shaun and here’s hoping the new partnership proves to be a great success.
