The former midfielder has a wealth of Football League experience with both Wycombe Wanderers, including the famous 2001 FA Cup run and Cheltenham Town before turning to non-league football with Maidenhead Utd. He scored the winning goal in the Surrey Senior Cup final for Kingstonian versus AFC Wimbledon in 2006. Martyn was most recently Assistant Manager to Tony Reid at Westfield F.C.
“I’m absolutely delighted to announce we’ve managed to bring in Martyn into the club," said First Team Manager James Bracken.
"I’ve had more time than usual to assess areas we can improve and for me, Martyn is the perfect addition to our management team. He can bring an objective opinion, fresh ideas as well as knowledge of players, teams and managers from leagues we’ve not ventured into.
"I’ve known him a long while and even played with him during our youth team days at Wycombe Wanderers. He went on to become an established professional and has gained experience on the ‘other side’ during a successful spell as assistant manager at Westfield. Most importantly he’s a good person, and that’s important when a football club at this level brings you together as much as this one does.
"He’s understands the game, brings a desire to achieve and progress and will no doubt contribute a lot to our future successes.”
At this juncture Bracken added,
“Season upon season we’ve improved on and off the pitch but that shouldn’t detract from the work and commitment shown by the assisting staff, many of whom are hard at work helping me prepare for our 6th season at the club. I reiterate how fortunate both myself and the club are having had the likes of Dan Pringle, Jon Williams, Jamie Byatt, Allan Winnet, Matt Dilger and Carly Doyle committed to the cause.
I hope everyone associated with the club is staying safe and well, and a special thanks to those in the working parties organised by Brian Adamson, who are making sure we come back to a ground to be proud of come the start of the new season.
"Stay safe and UTC" - James Bracken.
