MARCUS EBDON has stepped down as manager of Evo-Stik NPL South side Spalding United after securing a mid-table finish.

Ebdon was given the Tulips job in November after impressing as caretaker boss following Pat Rayment’s departure.

A vastly experienced former professional with Everton, Peterborough United, Chesterfield and Leyton Orient, Ebdon previously had a spell as manager at Alfreton Town.

Despite the Tulips consolidating at Step 4, Ebdon and his assistant Danny Hussey have stepped down due to other commitments.

Spalding finished 12th this season following last Saturday’s 1-1 home draw against Leek Town and will now be searching for a new manager.

A Spalding statement read: “After conversations with the club, Marcus Ebdon along with Danny Hussey have today decided to step down from the management team, due to work and family commitments. They both felt they could not give the club the appropriate time required for Spalding United to remain a successful Step 4 club.

“The club wishes to make clear Marcus and Danny leave us on good terms and will always remain a respected and significant duo at Spalding United. Their legacy at The Sir Halley Stewart Playing Field has long been guaranteed and they will always be warmly welcomed back.

“The club’s focus is now on ensuring our talented squad reaches its potential with local youth merging through. There will be no further comment until a new appointment is made.”
