From The Bench - Simon Hull
I’m delighted to have been given the opportunity to Manage Arundel. It’s a wonderful Club with great people involved on and off the pitch.
It’s a challenge I’m really looking forward to and I hope we can put some smiles on the faces of the loyal supporters that back us week in week out.
Rich will still be around although work commitments may limit Rich’s time.
Rich’s invaluable experience and knowledge is something I will definitely be leveraging over the coming season. Rich has done a tremendous job at Arundel in his spells here and is greatly respected by all at the club.
I hope to add a couple of fresh faces to the exciting young squad we have here and play some expansive free flowing football when the opportunity permits.
I believe the experience of last season’s struggles will ultimately help the squad and strengthen us as a group.
We will all work hard as a group and aim to improve on this season and target a mid table or above finish and a decent cup run would be nice.
My playing career was based in Kent 25 years ago representing my County at youth level and later Bromley Fc.

Barnham Trojans U15’s 2014-2015 Arun & Chichester Div A League Champions

Richard Towers is looking for his Arundel Football Club squad to build on the momentum from a fine end to 2017. Mullets won three of the final five Southern Combination League Premier Division games last year - a run which saw them climb off the bottom and into 16th.
Arundel were due to have the chance to continue their fine form with a league clash at place-below rivals Worthing United on Saturday. However, a waterlogged pitch meant the match was postponed.
Towers admits an unsettled squad played a major part in Mullets’ poor start but believes young talent brought in over the past few months has helped. Arundel manager Towers stepped down back in September - only to reverse his decision and rejoin the club less than a week later. Results started to pick up towards the end of the year and Towers hopes they start 2018 well at home to AFC Uckfield Town on Saturday.
He said: “It was a tough start to the season but we’ve started to pick up now. All along I’ve believed we’re good enough to be in and around the mid-table, which recent results have shown. “The young players that have joined as the season has gone on are continuing to learn and adapt to this level. It was always going to take time for the squad to gel but now I think we are growing as a team. “We’ve worked hard to move up the table, it’s about capitalising and making the most of the position we’ve got ourselves in.” Towers has further bolstered his squad with the addition of winger Jake Ebbling from rivals Wick.
Mullets manager Towers worked with Ebbling during his time at Crabtree Park and believes he’ll be a good addition. He added: “Jake will be a good addition in more ways than one. He someone who enjoys the coaching side, so we’ll look to get him more involved in training. “With such a young squad, I don’t think you can ever have too many coaches, so we’ll look to get him involved helping the younger players. “Jake will add a little bit of experience on the playing side of things as well.
“I’ve been really pleased with how we’ve done over the last month or so and the aim is to continue that now. It’s about making sure the younger members of the squad keep up the good levels

Simon Hull, who has joined a team with just one win in all competitions so far this season, admitted the draw of a role within the senior game was too good to turn down. Richard Towers first met his new assistant during his time at Wick when Hull oversaw the under-18 team at Crabtree Park.
He was most recently under-21 manager of Wick, before deciding to become number two at Arundel. The 40-year-old knows the size of task facing both he and Towers but has every confidence they’ll turn things around.
He said: “I’ve been involved in age group management for a period but when this opportunity came up I felt it was too good to refuse. “I knew Richard from his time at Wick and in the past two jobs he’s kept teams up. He came in at Wick and turned things around, then kept Arundel up last season after coming in at Christmas. “The current Arundel team is new to me but I’ve enjoyed my short time with the team.”
