Club Appoints Wheatcroft As New First Team Manager
June 1st, 2010Arundel FC chairman Bob Marchant has tonight appointed Gary Wheatcroft as Richard Towers successor.
As a player Wheatcroft was on the books of Southampton, Bournemouth and Portsmouth while also enjoying prolific spells at county level with Chichester, where he won the Division 1 title in 1980 and Selsey where as player/manager we won the division 2 and league cup double.
Another of Wheatcroft’s claim’s to fame is that he played in the Netherlands in 1981 for Haarlem FC at the same time as former Chelsea and Newcastle manager and Dutch international, Ruud Gullit.
Wheatcroft who most recently has been coaching in the United States will now set his sites on retaining the bulk of last season’s playing squad while hoping to bring in signings of his own to improve on the Mullets rather disappointing 12th place finish last time around.
Everyone at the club would like to welcome Gary to the club and this Sunday 6th June from 12.30pm their will be a barbeque at Mill Road which will give the players and supporters the chance to meet the new manager in a more informal way.
