Paul has returned to Mickleover to give a helping hand for the fourth time, having previously helped us get to the edge of the play-offs a few years ago.

He had spells as caretaker/assistant manager at Portsmouth, assistant at West Ham and Birmingham City and managed both the first team and academy at Bournemouth.

After time in India and Israel he managed Gloucester City, before joining Mickleover in late 2022, joining John McGrath to take us to the edge of the play offs. Latterly he was assistant at Buxton after another spell in India.
