Cook, who was already on the staff as a coach, only took over in November following the departure of Jimmy Bratten.

Cook said: "Firstly, I want to address the fact that we have stepped away from Huntingdon Town with immediate effect.

“With the club in a tough position in the league, they decided something needed to be changed. I was told that the club would be speaking to other people to try and strengthen the management.

“With that being said, I was being asked to stay on in my role as manager, but without full control of my team. This is something that I could no longer be a part of as it’s something I disagreed with. I was very unsure on where I would fit and who would be taking a lead.

“I’m extremely proud of the players for starting to compete in the league again and finding a philosophy that best suited us. I have full faith in the players to be able to escape relegation.

“Although my stint in management was short, I am proud of what I have done with little resources. I jumped in with two feet when no one else would.

“I would also like to say I’m grateful for the club with initially bringing me in as a manager as it is a club I hold close to my heart”.
