Attenborough
joins the Steelmen having most recently been the manager of league rivals
Loughborough Dynamo.
A
former player with Coalville Town, Shepshed Dynamo and Loughborough Dynamo,
Attenborough was forced into early retirement following a shocking hit-and-run
accident.
On
a charity bike ride with two friends from London to Rome, the trio were knocked
off their bikes just 5 miles from the channel crossing in Kent by a driver who
has never been found.
Remarkably,
Attenborough did make a return to playing a year later but due to the injuries,
it was time for a step into management.
Attenborough
went into management with Step 7 Sileby Town in 2016 but was quickly offered a
chance closer to home with Step 6 outfit Ashby Ivanhoe, where they finished
fifth.
A
year as assistant at Dynamo followed before, earlier than expected, the top job
opened up.
Loughborough
improved year on year in the four years that Attenborough was in charge, and
the 31-year-old is now ready for the top job at Steel Park.
