Steve Jay has resigned as manager of Thurlow Nunn Division One outfit, Whitton United.

Experienced manager Jay took over at Whitton last November and took a team that had recently lost 9-0 to Woodbridge Town and were struggling in the bottom-six, to relative mid-table safety in Thurlow Nunn Division One.

Jay was assisted by Robbie Knott who is thought to be staying on in his capacity at the club.

“We did our best with what we had but it did not feel right for me to stay on and I would not have wanted to remain and done the job half-hearted, so it is best that I give someone else a chance,” said Jay, who has also managed Hadleigh United and Stowmarket Town.
