Previous manager Marvin Walker and his assistant Aaron Archer are remaining with the club but will be working behind the scenes.
Welcoming Reece and Bleau to the club, Walker told the club`s website: “We are delighted that Shaun and Roy have joined Enfield Borough. As the club has grown over the past two years, I have found it increasingly more difficult to split my time between the role of co-owner and that of manager. Both Aaron and I feel it is important that the whole club grows off the park as well as progress on it. We are a very young club who do not have a large staff working on our behalf. Therefore, the onus is on us to push ahead with our plans and ideas for its future development.”
Reece (pictured) has left his position of assistant-manager to Andy Leese at Bostik League Premier side Enfield Town - the pair having previously worked together at Chesham United.
Bleau was manager of Broxbourne Borough’s youth team which made national headlines when they reached the last sixteen of the FA Youth Cup in the 2016/17 season.
Walker, who will now be assuming the position of chairman, added: “One of the goals when forming the club in 2016 was to provide local youngsters with a platform to develop their abilities to their maximum and Roy’s track record with the Broxbourne Borough youth team fits perfectly with those aims, while Shaun has an excellent background in non-League football and this will provide him with the opportunity to take charge of a club for the first time.
“While the faces in the dug-outs may change, the style of football on the pitch will not. Our methods over the last two seasons have been noticed by bigger clubs higher up the football Pyramid and have led to a couple of our players moving into the professional game. This would indicate that we have been doing things correctly and hopefully this process will continue in the years to come. These appointments are just part of an exciting future for Enfield Borough”. |
