Nunn has a wealth of experience in Bedfordshire, having previously managed Biggleswade Town and guiding the Waders to promotion to Step 3.

 

He stepped down as manager of the Waders for the second time in January, having originally vacated the managerial hot seat at Langford Road in April 2018 after 12 years with the club.

 

His remarkable transformation of Biggleswade alongside chairman Maurice Dorrington, began in late 2006.

 

After saving the club from certain relegation in his first half-season, he inspired the Waders’ most successful period of their history, fulfilling Dorrington’s ten-year plan to turn the Bedfordshire side into a Step 3 club.

 

Starting at Step 6, in his first full season, he turned the side into promotion contenders, and in 2008/09, he guided the club not only into their brand-new home on Langford Road, but to the Spartan South Midlands League title.

 

By 2011, Nunn had surpassed the Waders previous highest position in English football, before the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons served as the highpoint in the Waders’ golden era.

 

In 2014, they won the play-offs, earning promotion to Step 3, and in 2015, they reached the FA Cup First Round for the first time in the club’s history, after beating Canvey Island.

 

Having successfully endured the tough transition to the Southern Premier Division Central, Nunn’s penultimate season saw him set Biggleswade’s current highest ever league position, with a superb ninth place finish.

 

Nunn joins the Walnut Boys following the departure of Scott Dash, who guided Rovers to safety in dramatic fashion in the Inter-Step play-offs last week against Toolstation Northern Counties East League side Eccleshill United.
