Club Legend steps down and goes on to new adventures
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.’
