"He
comes from a family steeped in Oswestry football tradition.”
Managing
director Nick Maguire said: “Everyone at FC Oswestry Town thanks Matt Burton
for the magnificent work he's done at the club since the start of last season,
he leaves the club in a great place, leading the pack for most of the season.
“We
are all really excited about Nathan coming on board and as a local lad, he will
hopefully encourage more local people to support us at Park Hall.”

prospect of managing his local side.
He
said: “I'm really pleased to be offered the opportunity to manage my hometown
