Rossington Main have announced that Lee Holmes is the new manager of their Toolstation NCEL Division One side following the departure of Steve Brennan last week.

27-year-old Holmes, who is from Rossington, rose up through the ranks at the club before spending time at Ipswich Town, Retford United, Worksop Parramore and Staveley Miners Welfare before returning in 2013.

Chairman Carl Stokes said: "As a player, Lee is Rossington Main's leading scorer and still hopes to continue helping to show our young squad how to finish.

"Lee will be assisted by our existing coach Andy Cowe who will offer his experience to our young manager and team.

"As chairman, I believe Lee will bring in a lot of the attributes we enjoyed with outgoing manager Steve Brennan. I'm sure Lee learned a lot from Steve but, having said that, I'm sure Lee will stamp his own personality on the team.

"We will start the season with a very young squad with an average age of 19.7 years. The only way I can see this rising is to play half of our committee!

"Seriously though, they may be young but already other clubs have been eyeing up a few of our lads. Hands off, guys!

"The committee and I wish Lee and his team all the very best for the forthcoming season and look forward to being entertained with attractive football."
