Ironton returns after a four-year break to take the reins at Herns Lane in succession to Dean Barker, who left for Southern Premier Central side Kings Langley a fortnight ago.

 

Ironton managed Arlesey Town in two spells, winning three successive Isthmian League promotions and taking the Bedfordshire side to the First Round of the FA Cup and quarter finals of the FA Trophy.

 

He also developed the careers of Dave Kitson, Craig Mackail-Smith and Jack Midson with Arlesey before they all went into the professional game.

 

Ironton spent two seasons at Ware, saving the East Herts club from near certain relegation and has also managed Vanarama National League South outfit Hemel Hempstead Town.

 

A former England semi pro international midfielder Ironton, who lives in Welwyn Garden City, had a glittering playing career winning two Conference titles and an FA Trophy with Enfield and a third Conference crown with Barnet, having begun as a professional at QPR.

 

Welwyn secretary Phil Ravitz told https://www.welwyngardencityfc.org.uk: “We had a very high calibre of candidates interested in the post, but Nick stood out. He’s a local man, who knows and understands our club and its potential. He has a vision for Welwyn Garden City FC and we as a club will do everything we can to see that vision realised.’’

 

Ironton will announce his backroom staff in due course.
