Jon Underwood has been confirmed as the new manager of Bracknell Town.

The former Slough Town boss has replaced Jordan Ive at the Pitching In Southern Premier South club. Ive stepped down a week ago soon after a shock FA Cup 1st Qualifying Round exit to South Park.

Underwood resigned from Beaconsfield Town in April after 14 months in charge, which ended with relegation to Step 4.

Previously, he and Neil Baker (pictured left above) had enjoyed nine years of success at Slough Town, leading them to two promotions, National League South play-offs and a run to the FA Cup 2nd Round in 2018.

The new manager told the club’s official website:

“I’m honoured to join such a proud club with a rich history.

“I’m eager to get started and work with the current talented squad, and staff, and also look to bring in some new faces.

“I believe together we can achieve great things.”

Underwood’s first game in charge will be on 21 September against league leaders AFC Totton.

Bracknell have made the play-offs in the last two seasons and are currently 7th with seven games played, two points from the top five.
