He replaces Brett Agnew and Joe Lamplough, who managed to keep the club in Division One East.
Thompson
is a former Bridlington Town player and has also played for Bottesford Town,
Barton Town and Hall Road Rangers, making over 500 career appearances in the Toolstation
Northern Counties East League.
He
has been manager of Beverley Town in the Humber Premier League for the past two
seasons, leading them to the championship in 2020/21 and runners-up in the
season just gone. He has also helped to prepare the team for promotion into the
NCEL Division One subject to confirmation from the league.
Thompson
told https://www.bridtownafc.com: “Coming
back to Bridlington Town in any capacity would be fantastic for me but coming
back to this club to manage them is something that I couldn’t say no to. From
applying for the position, to being offered an initial interview and then
eventually being offered the opportunity to take the challenge on at this
level, it was all a no-brainer for me.
“When
I left the club in summer 2020, I always said it would take something special
to pull me away and taking charge at Beverley Town fitted the bill. It was my
opportunity to pave my own way in management and in the last two years we have
had great success there, bringing the Humber Premier League title back to the
club and setting points and goals records along the way. It’s been a fantastic
two years and getting the club ready with a team that is set for the NCEL has
been something that I am really proud of.
“In
that same respect, it would take something special to pull me away from that
new era in Beverley Town’s history and the only job that would do that is this
one. I have prepared myself well for this opportunity and it’s a job I’m going
to relish. I have continued to follow the club and have a great relationship
with the fans and long may that continue. Pre-season can’t come soon enough for
me and I hope everyone is looking forward to a new fresh approach this coming
season”. |
