The former AFC Portchester and Gosport Borough boss has taken up the position of general manager at Sydenhams Football League (Wessex) Premier Division club Horndean, who he played for earlier in his career.

Catlin, who has been without a club since his dismissal from AFC Portchester in October, will oversee developments off the pitch at Five Heads Park while offering a link between manager Michael Birmingham and the Boardroom.

Whilst providing an added presence on match-days and representing the club, he will have no coaching involvement unless requested.

Catlin had been originally been appointed at AFC Portchester as joint boss alongside Ian Saunders in January 2018.

He was in charge of Southern League Premier Division South side Gosport Borough until December 2017.

He had only been back at Privett Park since September 2017, having previously left in January.

He had previous spells at Gosport as assistant manager to both Alex Pike and John Robson and is also a former player.

He has also been in charge at Andover, Fleet Town, and Chichester City.

His managerial highlight, however, was undoubtedly being in charge of Gosport in the 2014 FA Trophy Final at Wembley.

Although Boro lost 4-0 to Conference side Cambridge United in front of more than 18,000 fans at the National Stadium, it was still a day to remember.

As a player, he enjoyed a long and successful time in both the Wessex and Southern Leagues with the likes of Waterlooville and Gosport.
