𝐋𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐅𝐂 🤝 Leighton Town FC is delighted to announce the appointment of Andy Leese and Jon Meakes as our new football management team. They  will take the reins at the Freed Veneers Community Stadium following tonight's Bedfordshire Senior Cup game v Barton Rovers. Andy and Jon have an exceptional track record over many years at Step 2-4 of the Non-League pyramid, successfully managing teams such as Chesham United, Enfield Town, Hayes and Yeading and more recently Walthamstow FC. Chairman of Leighton Town FC, Sean Downey, was delighted with the appointment. “It was important to fill the vacant managerial post speedily following Paul's sudden departure. Losing a manager at this stage of the season can create huge instability and uncertainty across any club and being able to appoint two highly talented and experienced managers so quickly to take charge of team affairs, is as unexpected as it is exciting. When we met to discuss the recruitment process last week, we were clear on two priorities. Firstly, that we need a Management Team that holds a deep understanding of the game at this level and a proven track record of building and developing competitive, organised and hard-working teams. Secondly, we had to move fast!  Andy and Jon have been tasked with bringing renewed energy, confidence and consistency to the team and building a strong collective spirit both on and off the pitch. Andy, who has lived locally for a few years said: “It's incredibly exciting to be given the keys to the dug-out at Leighton Town FC. It's a club Jon and I know well and we want to build on the great work Paul Reed and his team have done. We look forward to meeting the players and fan base which looks like one of the most passionate in the league from what we have seen. Although we have some challenges to overcome to be ready for Saturday's game away at Stourbridge, we are looking forward to getting started. Jon and I have huge experience at Step 3  and we know how to build winning teams. The hard work starts today!" A new era begins Town fans! Let's get behind Andy and Jon and the team. Up the Town! #YourTownYourTeam
