Richard Fey steps up to become Paulton Rovers’ new boss

RICHARD FEY has stepped up to become Paulton Rovers’ new boss following Nick Bunyard’s resignation last week.

Bunyard stepped down after three-and-a-half years at the club, guiding them to promotion to the Southern Premier before an impressive tenth-placed finish at Step 3.

Fey joins Rovers from Bridgwater Town, who he led to 12th in the Southern Division One South & West last season. He previously served as assistant manager at Chippenham Town.

Former Chippenham boss Nathan Rudge, who Fey worked with at Town, will join Rovers as Fey’s number two.

A Bridgwater statement read: “It was announced this morning, Tuesday May 19 by chairman Richard Johnson, that first team football manager Richard Fey is leaving the club. The club will issue a further statement as more details are available.

“The club will be accepting and considering applications for the vacant position in the coming weeks, but will not be rushed into a panic decision.”
