Stafford Rangers announce new management team and player signings
Stafford Rangers have appointed Dave Belford as their new first team manager.
He will be joined at the club by Graham Deakin as assistant manager, while the signings of Scott Wara and Ashley Fallon have also been confirmed.
Belford takes over the reins from the departing Dave Cooke, who announced his resignation from the role following last weekend's 4-0 defeat at home to Widnes.
That result left the club 18th in the NPL West Division and winless in four.
Joining Belford in the dugout is Deakin, who was most recently the assistant manager at Shifnal Town.
The 37-year-old brings further managerial experience to Boro from his time at Hednesford Town.
Stafford Rangers have also confirmed the signings of defender Scott Wara and Ashley Fallon.
Wara, 25, joined Prescot Cables prior to the start of the 2024/25 season, making seven appearances, but departed the club last month due to logistical issues related to travel.
Fallon will join the former Leek Town and Stalybridge Celtic centre-back at Marston Road from Darlaston Town.
The 20-year-old midfielder links back up with former assistant Deakin, with the pair initially working together during their time at Shifnal.
Both players will go straight into contention for Stafford's next trip to Bootle in the NPL West Division on Saturday.
