Duguid has also brought in his trusted assistant Michael Pulford to help him.

Duguid told https://coggeshalltownfc.co.uk: “The opportunity to manage Coggeshall Town and build on their recent successes and the excellent foundations Graeme, Olly and John have built in such a short space of time is something that excites me, and I can’t wait to get going”
