The former Reading YMCA boss takes over from Duncan Mitchell, who stepped down from the role after seven years.

Goudie has retained Andy Silver as his assistant-manager, with the duo having previously worked together at Binfield.

Wallingford’s new boss also has Southern League experience with Thatcham Town and Abingdon United.

Goudie told the Oxford Mail: “I am delighted to accept the role at Wallingford. After meeting the chairman Simon Cowlard and former manager Duncan Mitchell, I was struck by their enthusiasm and genuine love for the club. I hope to be able to play a small part in helping the club achieve success. I look forward to meeting the players and to starting work on preparing for the new season.”

Cowlard added: “We are delighted to appoint Glenn. We are confident we have found the right man for the job. We are moving in the right direction and want that progression to continue and believe Glenn ticks all the boxes for us, coming to us as he does with a wealth of coaching and managerial experience”.
