Several good applicants came forward for the position and after careful consideration and a number of interviews conducted by a panel led by the new director of football, the choice was made to promote from within the club.

Weatherstone has been with the Row since July 2020, joining as joint under-23 development manager.

Prior to his time at Hartley Wintney, Weatherstone managed and coached at Bracknell Town, Binfield FC and Woodcote and has a proven record of coaching and developing young players.

In his playing days, Weatherstone was a professional with Oxford United, Stevenage Borough and Boston United, playing over 100 games in the Championship and Leagues One and Two.

He was also a member of the Boston United team that won the National League championship in 2002.

Newton has been with Hartley Wintney since joining as a player in February 2019 from Colliers Wood United, where he had served as club captain.

In recent seasons, he has been an important part of the Row's first-team coaching staff.

Speaking of the appointments, Millerick told his club’s website: "Having worked with Roscoe and Ty closely since Christmas, I saw first-hand the impact that they made upon the squad. They are organised, know their football, and critically both are capable of conveying their message to the player group.

"I was impressed by their mannerisms, particularly in the last few months of the season where they showed the ability to stay calm throughout some tricky games, where the stakes were high. The positivity they showed, and their understanding of team spirit, clearly had an impact, as the squad we finished the season with contained all the vital ingredients of a good Hartley side."

Millerick guided Hartley Wintney from Step 5 to Step 3 of the football Pyramid on a modest budget, cementing his legendary status at the North Hampshire club.

Post-Covid lockdowns, this season had been a tough one on and off the pitch, with relegation successfully avoided towards the end of the campaign.
