WESTBURY United have appointed Shaun Gardiner as their new manager.

Gardiner, who was briefly appointed joint-manager at Meadow Lane back in 2011, has returned to the club to take over from Adam Collington, who stepped away from his role as United manager earlier this month.

Mark Hurkett, who had been in caretaker charge since Collington’s departure, will continue as Gardiner’s assistant manager.

The new Westbury manager has been in charge of Chippenham & District Sunday League outfit Westbury Rangers this season and is set to work under new United chairman Matt Bright and vice-chairmen Greg Coulson after Paul Brickley stepped down from his position at the head of the club last week.
