Ludlow Town Football Club have started preparations for the new season with some changes to their backroom staff.

Steve McCormick who took over from Jimmy Mullen when he left for Broms-grove Rovers has decided to stand down due to work and family commitments. He has contributed a lot to the club during some of their most troubled times.

Dave Titterton the former Stourport Swifts manager will now join Richards in running the club. The former Hereford United player joined Town as a player last season but was unfortunately injured for much of the time.

He helped out with the coaching and proved a popular member of the club. His experience and knowledge of players will be invaluable.

Also joining the coaching staff will be former Chasetown backroom man Steve Madden. The Telford-based Madden will also be involved in coaching and will specialize with the goalkeepers.

Successful businessman Neil Meredith will become the director of football and will look at the structure of the club, with the long term objective of promoting players from within the club uppermost in his mind.
