Hastings United are delighted to confirm that Lauren Skinner-Swain has been appointed as our new Women’s First Team Manager.

A familiar face at the club, Lauren has been with the women’s team since its formation in 2020. During that time, she has made 100 appearances for the ‘U’s, helped the side win the Sussex County Premier title, been part of a team that lost just three league matches across 46 games, and has proudly captained the club since 2023.

Now, after six successful years as a player and leader on the pitch, Lauren steps into the role of First Team Manager.

“I’m really grateful for the opportunity to step into this role. Having been with the club for the past six years, and captain for the last three, I’ve shared a lot of experiences with the girls and seen the team go through different stages. My focus is on supporting the girls, creating a positive environment where everyone can enjoy their football and continue to develop. I’m looking forward to working with them and helping the team make the most of the opportunities ahead.” – Lauren Skinner-Swain

Head of Football, Billy Wood added:“I am delighted Sharpy has accepted the role, and the early stages have been really positive. We are set to announce a number of player retentions, along with a host of exciting new signings, which have brought a real sense of renewed energy around the club. Lauren has been with us since the very beginning, understands what this club is about, and we will support her every step of the way as she transitions into management.”

Hastings United are delighted to announce that Tom Chalmers has signed a new contract with the club.

A product of our Academy, Chalmers, 23, is widely regarded as one of the finest talents to emerge from our youth system. After making his first-team debut at just 16 years old, Tom has gone on to play a pivotal role in the club’s recent success, 110 games including helping secure the Isthmian South East League and a return to Step 3 football.

The club are also proud to confirm that Tom has been appointed Club Captain ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Tom Chalmers said: “This club means a lot to me, so it’s a real honour to follow in the footsteps of Sammy Adams and captain Hastings United. The supporters were incredible during my recovery, and I’m looking forward to getting back out on the pitch and giving something back to them. I can’t wait for the season to begin.”

Manager Ronnie Dolan said: “Getting Tom signed was one of the main priorities for myself and the management team ahead of the new season, and I’m delighted we were able to get it done. Keeping Tom at his boyhood club is a huge moment for Hastings United.

“From our very first conversations, it was clear that Tom shares the ambition of what we’re building here. He understands the standards we want to set both on and off the pitch, and having someone of his quality, leadership and connection to this football club is invaluable.

“Making Tom our club captain was an easy decision. He knows exactly what this badge means, leads by example every single day, and sets the standard for those around him. I’m delighted he’ll be leading Hastings United into this next chapter.”

Hastings United are delighted to welcome Ollie Black back to The ‘U’s.

A product of the club, the versatile defender returns to The Pilot Field following spells with Worthing and Folkestone Invicta.

Having made over 150 appearances in Hastings United colours, Black was a key member of the side that secured the club’s Isthmian League South East Division title, and his return adds experience, leadership and quality to Ronnie Dolan’s squad.

Ollie Black said: “I’m delighted to be back at my hometown club and can’t wait to get going. It’s a club that means a lot to me, and I’m looking forward to helping bring better times back for the supporters.”

Manager Ronnie Dolan said: “As soon as I got the manager’s job at Hastings United, Ollie was one of my first phone calls. He had started pre-season with Folkestone, but we’ve stayed in touch throughout

“We had a really good conversation about what he wants to do and what I want us to achieve on the pitch. Ollie will be a key part of that. He can see what we’re building at this football club and is excited to be part of it. I’m absolutely delighted to welcome OB back to Hastings United.”

Hastings United are delighted to announce the signing of Archie Cassidy, who joins the U’s from Bromley.

The tall, imposing left-back spent part of last season on loan at VCD Athletic from the League Two champions. Having attracted interest from a number of clubs this summer, we are thrilled that Archie has chosen The Pilot Field as the next step in his career.

Speaking after completing the move, Archie said: “I’ve really enjoyed pre-season so far and I’m excited to play my part this season at such a big non-league club. I played here against Hastings last season and know the supporters are unreal. I’m really looking forward to playing in front of them this season.”

“I am delighted to get Archie agreed for the season. He has been in with us for a couple of weeks and straight away I could see he fits the mould of what sort of players I want to be attracting back to Hastings United.  Archie is a quick, powerful defender who I’m sure the fans will love.” – Ronnie Dolan
