Following and extensive process the club is delighted to announce the appointment of Lee Carey as Mens First Team Manager.
Former club captain, Lee played a key role in the team that won promotion in 2006/7 as well as the captaining the team in the famous FA Cup run in 2012/13.
.
Chairman Dean White said
“Lee was a breath of fresh air when he came in to work with the team for the final 5 games of the season and made a real impact with the players and the staff. He made it very clear to me early on that given the opportunity to be manager he could take us forward on the pitch ‘’
‘’Over the last 7 or 8 years we developed a successful Football identity by giving hard working young players and coaches a pathway and platform to perform and progress and it was a culture that served us well. Unfortunately we managed to drift away from this that type of environment in the last 12 months or so and it is important we get back to it as soon as possible’’
‘’I have no doubt that Lee will transmit the passion, values and leadership qualities he demonstrated as a player whilst wearing the Hastings United shirt from the dugout as Manager’’
.
Lee Carey said
‘’I am absolutely delighted to be given the opportunity to manage my home town club where I enjoyed success as a player and some of the best years of my playing career. I am excited for the coming season which will see us regroup and tackle the Isthmian South East head on and strive to bounce straight back. I am also really excited to develop a squad that will not only give 100% week in week out but be competitive in every aspect of the game. I am sure if we do that the supporters will continue to show their amazing support and can be a real asset in the 25/26 season’’
