Slimbridge AFC are delighted to confirm the addition of Sam Prior to the Swans' management team.
Sam joins following nine years of managing fellow Hellenic League Premier Division side, Brimscombe and Thrupp FC.
While at the club, Sam led the Lilywhites to a laudable second place finish and a Gloucestershire Challenge Trophy triumph.
Tom Deakin shared his thoughts following the news, saying: "We've always talked about making this happen, but unfortunately it's always been right place, wrong time.
"Now the opportunity has come about, after speaking to Adam, we both agreed it was a no-brainer.
"Now he's here, we are ready to go. He has fitted in already, the lads have taken to him well. He's a great person with great experience!" Tom said.
As for Sam, the new addition said that he was 'delighted' to be asked to come on board.
"Delighted to be asked to come on board at a friendly club like Slimbridge. If I can help the two managers and take a little pressure off by doing the small jobs, hopefully it'll help them and the players to do better in key areas.
"It's been a good start to pre-season and the lads look raring to go, so it's fingers crossed for another positive season!"
With Sam on board, the Swans hope his experience can help give the club that extra 1% to take us back to where we want to be!
