Meanwhile, talking about his own arrival at the club, Radford said: "I am thrilled and very excited to be joining the Briggers, a club with huge potential, great facilities and a long history, in particular the great people currently at the club whose enthusiasm and passion is clear to see and who will continue to push the club in the right direction.

"I have come to the club determined and make it a real success both on and off the pitch, something that is echoed by the current staff and the supporters."
