After
the huge disappointment of last season this is a big boost for the club.
Dunwell
took over seven years ago when the club was a lot different and it is without
question the important role the pair have played in this remarkable progress.
Club
chairman Martin Hillerby told https://stocktontownfc.com: “Our supporters may look
first and foremost at the players that come through the door to strengthen us
but the team behind the team is just as important and there is no doubt in my
mind that Michael is key in that. Michael came to the club in the Wearside
League days and himself and JD stuck with the club and stood alongside myself,
when we couldn’t take promotion. They have had opportunities in the past to
move on but the fact that they are still here says all we need to know about
them as people and the confidence we have in them to help guide our club.”
Dunwell
added: “I’m delighted to extend my time at Stockton. Looking at my time over
the last seven years we have grown so much both on and off the field and have
had great success. With promotions and who can forget our trip to Wembley.
After speaking to Marty, he outlined the clubs plans for the future. We both
want to see the club progress through the pyramid and after last season’s
disappointment, this has made us want it even more. It was a no brainer when he
asked me to stay longer. I look forward to further success with my management
team, playing squad and the club as a whole”. |
