Yorkshire Amateur have announced that a new face will join their management team for next season.

Gary Strodder, who started his career at the Ammers before making almost eighty appearances for West Ham United at centre-half, will be returning to Bracken Edge.

Alongside current management duo Graham Hodder and Dave Holmes, he will help the players make the best of their talents as the club looks to improve next season.

A club spokesperson said: "Whilst this season's position doesn't reflect the quality of players and fantastic performances put in, as many teams have agreed throughout the campaign, there has been an ongoing issue with injuries throughout the season.

"But, the management staff are sure that the potential of the team coupled with the youth and passion will give them the ability to really push for the top next season."
