I am very pleased, excited and looking forward to working with our newly appointed management team of
Dale Hurley and James Rhodes who take up the position from Monday 6th October 2025.

Following my conversation with Ryan Andrews our interim manager after the Seaford defeat Ryan asked to step down in the best interests of the football club to move forward appointing permanent management team. I would like to thank Ryan and Richard for all their hard work in their time with the club and the effort they have put in. They will always be welcomed back at anytime and they leave with their heads high.

With this happening so quickly I had to react without going through the interview process. I had received many very good applications for the managers position, even though we didn’t actually advertise the vacancy. I was very impressed with the calibre of interest.

With the blessing of the committee and understanding the importance of the decision I am pleased to say I had their support. We all welcome James and Dale back to Lancing Football Club.

I am sure the supporters will welcome them to Culver Road for the game against Guernsey on Saturday 11th October 2025
A 2.00pm kick off.
