We thank the two long-serving staff members for their dedication to the Robins' cause!
The Club is sad to announce that Alan Bull and Simon Monks will both be departing from the backroom staff ahead of the new season.
Both arrived in BA11 alongside Danny Greaves in 2018 as Goalkeeping Coach and Coach respectively, and have been great servants to the club in those seven years, enjoying many successes and also experiencing a few lows.
The Club, as a whole, would like to place on records its thanks for the countless hours of devoted service and whole-hearted support, both on and off the pitch.
Danny Greaves expressed his appreciation for two of his most trusted members of staff: "I am sad to see both Alan and Simon depart the club (although in Alan’s case he has made himself available as a sounding board if and when required, or to support any new incoming Goalkeeping Coach which shows the mark of the man!).
"I brought both to the club with me seven years ago, and it has been great for me to have that level of experience and support by my side. I have worked with Simon for nine years now, and Alan for nearly two decades. This is very much a transitional period, both on and off the pitch, but also a very exciting time.
"Whilst one door closes, another opens, and I now look forward to re-shaping the management team in the coming days and weeks and bringing in a new energy and fresh ideas. A couple of new additions have already been agreed, and further conversations are taking place, and we will update the supporters on the final management team in the coming weeks.
"I am pleased to say Neil Simons (Assistant Manager), Tom Dalby (Physio), Lee Salter (Head of Performance) and Shaun ‘Basher’ Baker (Kit Man) will remain as part of the first-team staff."
We wish Alan and Simon all the best! Good luck and we look forward to seeing you both on the terraces at Badgers Hill soon!
