There's a new gaffer at Swindon Supermarine FC.
They say they're 'delighted' to announce the signing of Bobby Wilkinson, who joins the club with immediate effect as first team manager on a two year contract.
Wilkinson will be joined by his trusted staff of Mike Percival and Lea Barkus at the Webbswood stadium for the 2025/26 campaign in the Southern League Division One South.
Amongst an impressive CV stacked with victories, he has managed at Bracknell Town, Hemel Hempstead, Weymouth, Hungerford Town and Wealdstone United and took the latter to an FA Trophy semi-final, claiming promotions at multiple clubs.
Bobby Wilkinson said: "I am looking forward to working with this family club, with great ambitions and I am very excited for the new challenge ahead“.
Chairman Jez Webb added: “It’s a real coup for us to secure the services of such a sought after, talented and driven manager, with a proven track record, it shows a clear intent that we intend to make the 2025/26 campaign the best we possibly can.“
The announcement means that Dan Gillespie departs as assistant coach.
The board have given their 'sincere thanks for his honesty, hard work and commitment especially during a testing second half of last season'.
