Following on from discussions and a meeting, the decision was amicable between the Board, Warrilow and his staff. Having spent four seasons with the Nuts & Bolts, he managed to achieve two play-off finals, a second place written off by Covid, and this season took the club on its best Emirates FA Cup run in 25-years. With a playing career spanning 20 years, Warrilow enjoyed professional football at Millwall and Torquay United in England and also played overseas in Australia and Finland. Starting out at semi-professional level, he cut his teeth at Maidstone United and then went on to play for Canterbury City, Tonbridge Angels, Gravesend & Northfleet, Crawley Town, Sittingbourne, Hythe Town, Ashford Town and Leatherhead before finishing his playing career at Horsham where he moved into a management role. Warrilow’s career highlights include making his Football League debut and also being sold by Crawley to Hythe town for £15,000, which at the time represented a Sussex non-League record. He has captained an England FA XI and won promotion four times with four different clubs. During his two seasons as a player with Ashford Town, in 1995/96 and 1996/97, centre-half Warrilow made a total of 90 appearances, scoring 17 goals. During the 1995/96 season, he was a key part of the team that finished as runners-up and earned promotion to the Southern League Premier Division. Warrilow was also an influential part of the Ashford team that enjoyed famous FA Cup runs under then manager Neil Cugley. During the 1995/96 season, the club reached the First Round before losing to Bognor Regis Town in a replay. The following season saw the Nuts & Bolts reach the second round, before losing at Watford. Outside of playing, Warrilow has been involved in football management for 20 years, starting as a player-manager at Leatherhead before moving to Horsham to join his old boss at Crawley as assistant manager where he remained for over three years. Upon leaving Horsham, Warrilow enjoyed seven years managing Tonbridge Angels. A stint managing Cray Wanderers and Thamesmead Town followed, before he was appointed manager of Ashford United in December 2018.
