Hastings United can confirm that the club has accepted the Resignation of First Team Manager David Altendorff.
When David joined the club in, following a poor start to the season, the objective was clear; to retain our status in the division. That goal was achieved with just one game remaining in the season, and we would like to place on record our appreciation for the work done by David during that period.
We would like to thank Assistant Manager Alex Marr and First Team Coach Mark Wright for their efforts and commitment during their time at the club, and we wish them all the very best for the future.
David Altendorff – ‘’After a great deal of thought, and with a heavy heart, I have decided to step down from my position as First Team Manager of Hastings United FC’’
‘’ I would like to thank everyone connected with the club for their support during my time here. In particular, the players, staff, volunteers and fans who have shown incredible commitment and support throughout what has been a challenging period’’
‘’I leave with nothing but respect and appreciation for the club and its supporters, I am truly grateful for the opportunity to manage such a historic club, and I sincerely wish Hastings United and its supporters every success in the future’’
The club will now begin an internal review process regarding the appointment of a new First Team Manager with further details to follow in the coming days.

Hastings United can confirm that we have accepted the resignation of Billy Wood as Women’s First Team Manager.
Following Billy’s decision to step down, we are delighted to announce that Todd Seavers will step into the role of Women’s First Team Manager ahead of the new season.
“It’s with reluctance that I step down from the role. The commitment involved with having young children on Sundays is proving more and more difficult, and this position deserves full attention, something I unfortunately cannot continue to offer on Sundays moving forward.
I’d like to thank my staff and players for all their hard work this season, and I wish them and Todd every success for next year.” – Billy Wood
New Women’s First Team Manager Todd Seavers added:
“I’d like to thank the club for giving me the opportunity to step up into the management role. Working with Billy this season, I can see why the team has been so successful in the past, and I’m excited to be able to build on the foundations that have been put in place this season as well as continuing to develop a pathway for the talented young local players in our U18’s and Academy.” – Todd Seavers
The club would like to thank Billy for his work this season with the women’s team as well as the continued work he will be carrying out at the club moving forward.
We wish Todd every success as he leads the team into the new 2026/27 season.
The club can confirm that extensive close season pitch renovations have been scheduled to start on Monday 1st June following a busy month of May at The Pilot Field.
We recognise that with the continued growth of our club across the Men’s, women’s, youth academy, disability and inclusive teams coupled with a frustrating lack of adequate training facilities in the community comes an increased usage and subsequent strain on the playing surface at The Pilot Field. As a result the club can confirm that there will be significant further investment into the pitch renovations during the summer months as well as throughout the 26/27 season to ensure that we are able to have a grass pitch that can to stand up to the amount of usage required to maintain the inclusive Football pathways that we currently have in place at Hastings United.
The club would like to thank Bugsy Crispe who took on the role of Head Groundsman on a voluntary basis at the start of season as well as other club volunteers who have regularly helped with the pitch throughout the season such as David Russell, Kayden Crispe, Roman Glazier, Joseph Knight and Gary Histed.
Off the pitch summer maintenance works at The Pilot Field will commence on Saturday June 6th from 9am and will take place every Saturday morning throughout June and July. If there are any supporters or members of the community that think they may be able give any time or expertise to help please email club@hastingsunited.com or telephone 01424 444635.
