Tiverton Town would like to announce that joint-Manager Martyn Rogers is stepping down from his role at the Football Club. Martyn commented, “Things have changed for me off the pitch in my personal life and it’s now time I devoted far more time to my wife and family. It goes without saying that I have loved every minute at the club since taking over as Manager thirty years ago. I think I’m leaving the club in a really healthy position on and off the pitch and wish Scott all the luck in the world, it’s his time to shine” Chairman Ian Moorcroft said, “Although I was shocked when Dodge told me I fully understand his reasons, you have to put your family first. I am 100% behind Scott and I am sure he will carry on the good work. I would like to thank Dodge for the legacy he has left us, virtually thirty years of success, three FA Vase Finals and the club playing at a decent level. We have a football club to be proud of with three new bars, it’s now a real asset to the town thanks to his drive and enthusiasm and it’s up to us to carry it on. Scott Rogers said, “Things got a bit emotional when Dodge told me but I believe he’s doing the right thing for him and the family, I know how important they are to him. I’m really looking forward to the challenge, I’m really up for it. I think we’ve made some great signings and can’t wait to get started. I believe it’s a fantastic opportunity for me and I’m going to grab it with both hands. We now have a great team on and off the pitch with facilities to match. Let’s all stick together and hopefully with our fantastic support we can enjoy even more success”
