Yaxley part ways with manager

Mould joined the club in January, aged just 20. In doing so, he became the youngest manager in the top nine tiers of English football.

He helped the club to their first win of the season, but a difficult campaign has continued since them, resulting in the club being 18 points adrift at the bottom of the Pitching In NPL Midlands Division.

Yaxley’s relegation was mathematically confirmed earlier this month.

The decision has now been made for Mould to vacate his position, with Lloyd Burton named as caretaker manager for the remainder of the season.

His first game in charge will be at home to Hinckley next weekend.

A club statement read: “Lloyd Burton will be responsible for instigating any required rebuilding of the men’s first team, with an eye towards the 2023/24 season when we will focus on local players playing for their local club.

“Further announcements regarding Lloyd and his coaching appointments will follow as we aim to reset.”

The club have also announced Simon Roberts will return to the club and help Burton as a first-team coach until the end of the season.

He had previously been in charge of the reserves before taking charge of Holbeach United.
