Hoole brings with him credentials of a modern, successful manager following a spell as the reserve team manager at Matlock Town before he took the first-team job on an interim basis.

After one defeat in eight matches moving from third bottom to mid-table, Matlock then appointed Hoole as the permanent manager in April 2018.

He has also extensive experience in working in professional academies and looks to give youth players with potential a chance.

This aligns with the strategy of the club to continue to develop a pathway for local players into the club from an early age working closely with the colts teams and under-18 and under-U21s.

Chairman Richard Clarey said: “He has a vision of success, knows what is required and we will assist him as much as we can. Early talks have been positive, and we look forward to a new era at The Lido Ground”.
