Woodhead was appointed in May.

Thirty-year-old Woodhead’s only previous managerial experience was a brief spell in charge of Eynesbury Rovers’ reserve side last season.

He had a short stint as a Huntingdon player the previous campaign which was curtailed by injury.

But he has now quit, saying: "I have decided to leave Huntingdon Town for a number or reasons.

“I thought when I was given the job it would be a great way into management. I knew it’s was going to be tough at the start but with the lads I knew and what I could get would get us stable enough to push on for the following season. I was told by the board it was a season to re build and time was on my hands.

“Before Saturday’s result I had been in charge for ten games, which three were cup games against higher opposition and the seven leagues games, five of them are sitting in top six so it shows we had a tough run in.

“With the chairman saying at the start of the season there was time to rebuild, this had changed as on Monday they had a meeting to discuss the future for the remainder of the season. Bearing in mind the chairman had been in my ear for the last six games we should bring Jimmy Brattan back. But as soon as I said it would be a good idea he had twisted it to the Board and before I knew it I was told that the club would like me to stay on, but Jimmy would be the main man. I stayed on to help Jimmy, but I felt it was an easy way out for them as they knew I would go.

“It was before the game at Anstey Nomads was when I knew no matter what I did for the club it wouldn’t be good enough. When you ring the reserve manager on Friday afternoon for help with players as we had a few injuries and someone gone down ill and he doesn’t respond at all you know it’s not right. I only wanted two players, not the whole team. Then when you relay this on to the chairman he's words were 'yeah but they have got to win the league`.

“The last reason why I’ve gone is that I’m failing in my role it’s affecting other roles. I’m failing as a dad, as a partner and even affecting work.

“Maybe it was a bit early jumping into first-team management or maybe the wrong club at the wrong time.

“I wish Jimmy all the best and hope he does turn it around. Great bloke which I would love to have worked with for longer. The players that are still there, wish them all the best for the rest of the season too".
