CHAIRPERSON Paula Henley has this morning confirmed the appointment of Matty Holmes as Wimborne Town’s new manager.

As reported by the Daily Echo last night, Holmes succeeds Simon Browne, who was last week sacked after six months in his post at Cuthbury.

Henley said: “I am delighted that Matty has decided to join us. He was a terrific player and has since become an excellent coach, with a strong reputation for developing players.

“He has so much playing and coaching knowledge and experience. I’m really looking forward to working with him.”
