Ex-Welling boss Jody Brown joins Concord Rangers as assistant

FORMER Welling United boss Jody Brown is back in the dugout as assistant manager at Vanarama National League South outfit Concord Rangers.

The 36-year-old only lasted two months at the Wings after joining from Ryman Premier side Grays Athletic but he already has lots of managerial and coaching experience.

The ex-Heybridge Swifts boss will team up with Concord manger Adam Flanagan who himself only joined the Beachboys recently.

Brown said: “After getting sacked at Welling I did get a bit disillusioned with football.

“I gave up a full-time job when I went to Welling and to only get eight games with someone else’s team was very disappointing.

“But this feels like the right opportunity to come back because I am most at home when I am stood on the grass and coaching the players.

“I got a call from Adam and then the chairman Antony Smith followed it up, and I know the club well from previous conversations with Danny Cowley about it.

“Danny will be a tough act to follow, of course, but hopefully I can help Adam go some way to doing that.”
