The
news comes at the end of a season that saw the Zebras lift a county cup and
narrowly miss out on promotion to the NCEL Premier Division.
A
statement released on social media read: "The club would like to thank
Marcus and his management team for the work they achieved, resulting in a
third-placed league finish and winning the Lincolnshire Senior Trophy.
"We
felt we needed to move quickly in our next appointment, and we are delighted to
announce Nathan Peat as the new first team manager."
Peat,
who swaps playing in defence for Brigg with a place in the dug-out, thanked
club officials "for giving me this opportunity to manage at such a great
club."
He
added: "I’ve been at the club in two different spells as a player and
enjoyed my time but now was the perfect timing and opportunity for me to try
and be a success at management.
"Since
returning for a second spell, I’ve seen the changes made behind the scenes, the
effort that goes into making Brigg a family club.
"And
that’s a club which really makes me want to be a part of". |
