𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔, 𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐘 ❤️ It is with sincere regret that Leighton Town FC announces the resignation of our First Team Manager Paul Reed, effective from after Saturday's home game against Peterborough Sports FC. This decision has not been an easy one for Paul to make and despite our attempts to persuade him to stay and continue with the outstanding work he has led over the past two years, Paul is adamant that this decision is the right one for him, his family, and the club. During his time at Leighton Town FC Paul has brought so much joy to us all, particularly last season, where against all the odds he masterminded an unexpected and hugely impressive title win, guiding the club to Step 3 football for the first time in its long history. In the process the team amassed over 100 points and scored over 100 goals, playing some entertaining football and building a strong bond with the town and our fantastic support base. Chairman of Leighton Town FC, Sean Downey, said: "Saturday is going to be a very emotional day for me and everyone connected with Leighton Town FC. Paul's achievements speak for themselves and we will be forever grateful for the immense contribution he has made to the success of the club in recent years. I urge everyone who loves our club to be at the Freed Veneers Community Football Stadium on Saturday to cheer on Reedy, his staff and the players, and to give him the send off his work and achievements truly deserve. We will miss him hugely!  Paul and his lovely family will always be welcome at Leighton Town FC and we wish him and them every success and happiness in the future." The club has already begun to make plans to address football matters in the short, medium and longer term and a statement will be made early next week in preparation for our Bedfordshire Senior Cup game at home to our old friends and rivals from Barton Rovers FC.  #YourTownYourTeam
