Andrew, also known as ‘Ketters’ is no stranger to us at Rusthall, the former Hildenborough Athletic manager coached our promotion winning squad, along side former first team managers Steve Sands and Steve Ashmore during the 2016/17 season.
Mike Cramp also joins us from the Hildenborough outfit, having previously played for Tonbridge Angels, East Grinstead and Hildenborough, before moving on to join Andrew in a joint management role at Hildenborough. After a successful period working together, Mike went on to be the assistant manager at East Grinstead.
Speaking at The Jockey Farm Stadium earlier today, Andrew said “Myself and Mike are very excited and honoured to be given the chance by Chairman, Joe Croker and the committee to manage at this great club. We both have previous knowledge of the club, and understand how special Rusthall Football Club is. We want to forge a close relationship with the reserve and youth teams to create a style of play that everyone at the club can be proud of. We are very grateful for the opportunity to Manage here and we want to repay the faith shown in us.”
In addition to Andrew & Mike, a first team coach will be appointed, as well as a pre-season schedule announced in due course.
