The Lions finished 3rd last season under his leadership and Matt is extremely keen to support the clubs ambitions of leading a squad that will be fighting for promotion. “We put a marker down last year finishing 3rd. Although this was close it was not close enough and I am excited at the prospect of going out and fighting for the top spot” said Matt.

Matt will be supported in his role by experienced Jon Boden. He will take on the mantel of Vice-Captain although he was the first to point out that there are a number of senior players in the squad that they both know they can call on during the season.
