Nantwich boss signs new two-year deal
Nantwich Town manager Paul Carden has agreed a new two-year deal with the club.
The former Warrington Town and AFC Telford United boss first took charge of the Dabbers in February 2023, replacing manager Ritchie Sutton and head coach Gary Taylor-Fletcher.
Despite finishing the season strongly under Carden's guidance, it wasn't enough for the club to preserve its Northern Premier League status.
Nantwich were relegated on the final day of the season, despite a 2-1 victory at home to Radcliffe, meaning they will participate in the Pitching In NPL West Division next season.
“Obviously the outcome last season was disappointing and not what we wanted,” Carden said.
"There were many positives in all areas since I took over and the potential of the club is immense.
"Myself and my management team have a long-term vision and are looking forward to the forthcoming season and giving the magnificent supporters something to smile about and be proud of."
Carden has added to his coaching team ahead of the 2023/24 campaign by bringing in former Dabbers favourite Darren Moss.
Moss played 48 times for the club, scoring six times. He also enjoyed a brief spell as caretaker manager in 2013.
Completing the make-up of Carden's backroom team are Adam Carden and Jamie Speare - both trusted advisors during his time at Warrington Town.
“We are delighted that Paul has committed himself further to the club," Dabbers chairman Jon Gold said.
"Everyone could see the passion, quality and leadership he has brought to the club since joining us, and he shares our long-term vision in all areas.
"We are confident that the forthcoming season will be an entertaining and exciting one, and I am sure that all of the supporters will be pleased that he has committed to the Dabbers and are looking forward to getting behind Paul and the team."
