It’s been a busy time behind the scenes since new chairman Bill Wilson took the reins. In order to try to secure the club's Southern  League status, changes have been made on the management and player front. 

 

Joint managers Kevin Squire and Kevin Darch have stepped down and been replaced by the vastly experienced Craig Laird. Craig knows the south west football scene very well. He has managed at levels above where we are and spent successful stints at Weston Super Mare and Dorchester Town. He is a UEFA “A” licensed coach and is determined to raise playing standards at the club through more frequent training. Kevin Squire has been offered and accepted a scouting role at the club which will enable him to gain more experience while Kevin Darch will be assisting Craig as he settles in at Barum.

 

The club has made approaches recently for four players and is delighted to confirm the return of Ryan Turner. Ryan was a prolific goal scorer in his last spell at Mill Road which ended in May 2017 when he joined neighbours Bideford. Since then he has banged in the goals for Helston but is as pleased as we are to return back home and partner up again with Billy Tucker.
