It was with a deep sense of disappointment that Rich's resignation was accepted by the Committee today. However, nobody will be as disappointed as Rich himself.
Due to excessive work commitments and the imminent arrival of his first child in August, Rich simply felt that he could not commit the necessary time to the role of First Team Manager.
Rich has turned around this club in the space of two seasons and he should be immensely proud of what he has achieved: a Welsh Alliance Championship, the Mawddach Cup and the distinction of leading a team through an entire league season without losing a game.
Added to that, he also won the Welsh Alliance Manager of the Season for 2013-14.
He is also one of a very few people to have won the Welsh Alliance Championship as a player and as a manager.
Everyone at Denbigh Town FC would like to place on record our sincere thanks and gratitude to Rich for all of his hard work and commitment over the last two seasons. Nobody has worked harder for this club than Rich and he'll leave a huge hole to fill.
Finally, we all wish Rich and Marie a happy and healthy baby in August.
Good luck and thanks for everything, my old mate!
