This
confirms both the club’s and management team’s long-term commitment to a
partnership that aims to continue the Angels on pitch progression.
The
bespoke contract provides security for both club and managers and gives the
opportunity for McKimm and Moore to build for the future with the aspiration of
promotion to the top rung of non-League football.
Tonbridge chairman Dave Netherstreet told https://www.tonbridgeangels.co.uk: “We believe
that Steve and Barry are the pair to help us achieve that success; given the
challenges of running a semi-professional club they have done brilliantly over
the last seven years and we believe that success can continue and grow.”
McKimm
arrived at the Halcyon Wealth Longmead Stadium in May 2014 following the club’s
relegation from Conference South the previous season with Moore joining him
soon after.
They
virtually had to build a new squad from scratch and whilst that first season in
charge was challenging with Isthmian Premier survival achieved with one game to
spare an immediate uplift in fortunes followed with a semi-final play-off
appearance.
Promotion
to National South came in 2019 via the `Super` play-offs and the First round of
the FA Cup was reached in 2020 - the first time this stage had been reached by
the club since 1972. |
