Club Legend steps down and goes on to new adventures

posted in: First Team News, News | 0

It is with great sadness that we announce today that club legend, ex-captain, player coach and interim Manager Luca Havern has left the club. Luca has been with the club over the last 5 seasons and has always given his all for the team, his fellow players and also the head coaches he has played for.

He wore his shirt with pride throwing himself into every block and tackle during his time and he leaves with our best wishes, huge thanks and lots of fond memories. Thanks Luca

‘As I step down as interim manager, I have also decided it’s the right time to step away from my role as player/coach. I wish the new management team and the lads the best of luck, and the club every success in rebuilding.

Thank you to all the fans,players, & management during my 6 years at the club.’

We can today confirm that the Club have mutually agreed to terminate Simon Richman’s contract, following discussions earlier this week.

During those discussions, Simon informed the Club that due to personal reasons, playing football was not a priority for him. We wish Simon all the best, and thank him for his time in the Avenue shirt.

In light of this news, Avenue have acted quickly, and we can confirm the non-contract signing of Reward Mwakona.

The 25-year old Mwakona joins with a wealth of experience, including time at Morecambe, Larne in Northern Ireland, and Airbus in Wales.

Mwakona is available for selection in Saturday’s away trip to Lancaster City. Click here for details and stay tuned to our socials on Saturday for team news!
