Since joining the Yeltz in the summer of 2019, Smith has brought a harmony back to the club and has seen the average attendance more than double.
His first
season in charge brought frustration as the season was declared null and void
following the worldwide Covid pandemic, a season that potentially would have
bought promotion and a possible Wembley Cup final with a two-legged semi-final.
A cup run never to be forgotten.
The 2020/21
season ended before it hardly got started with only 12 games played before
Covid again took hold.
The
2021/22 season saw Paul Smith’s men never out of a play-off spot all season,
ending cruelly with a semi-final playoff defeat.
But
regular crowds of over a thousand were a testament to how the club, and indeed
the town had grown under Smith’s tenure.
On
securing Smith’s services, director of football Keith McKenna told https://www.ht-fc.co.uk: “Karen and I are
delighted to announce that Paul Smith will continue as manager of our club. We
are all disappointed that we haven’t been promoted but can see Paul is more
determined than ever to get us into the next league above and has our full
support.
“The
hard work begins today….”
Smith said: “I’m
delighted to have signed another contract with the club for this coming season.
“Although
we didn’t achieve our goal of promotion on the pitch, the growth and
development of the club in the three years since my arrival is clear for all to
see.
“Keith
and Karen’s support and drive are infectious, and it was a very easy decision
for me to make to work alongside them again.
“The
club has come a long way in such a short space of time, yet this is just the
beginning.
“I’m
more determined than ever to achieve the goals on and off the pitch that we
have all set out to get.
“It’s
been a brilliant three years so far and I am excited to see what next season
brings’’. |
