Hatch,
30, who first played for Christchurch as an 18-year-old and who has also turned
out for Poole Town, Wimborne Town, Ringwood Town and Downton, and served as
assistant manager at Verwood Town, has replaced Ollie Cherrett and Wayne Smith,
who walked out in protest after Christchurch turned down an FA invitation to be
promoted to the Southern League.
Hatch
will be assisted by Barney Gritt, with coach James Rowe and goalkeeping coach
Ryan Thorpe making up his team.
He
has already made several new signings, including left-winger Sam Chilman from Hamworthy
United, centre-half Harvey Elsom from Lymington Town, central midfielder Ethan
Maddocks and defender Pepe Smith from Verwood Town and defender Mac Raney from
Bournemouth Poppies at the Hurn Bridge Sports Club. |
