Thurlow Nunn League strugglers Heacham have appointed former Downham Town and Diss Town boss Garth Good as their new manager..
It follows the departure of Mark Hunter and sees the Magpies second bottom of the Premier Division table with one win and 15 defeats from their opening 16 games and out of the FA Cup, League Cup and Norfolk County FA Senior Cup.
A club statement said: “Heacham Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Garth Good as first team manager.
“We see this appointment as an opportunity to galvanise the club and bring our players, coaching staff, volunteers and supporters together with a shared focus on progress, both on and off the pitch.
“Following a challenging period, our priority is to provide Garth with the support he needs to build confidence within the squad and move the team forward.
“The club would also like to thank Matt Pooley for his commitment and professionalism in taking charge during the interim period. His contribution has been greatly appreciated.
“We welcome Garth to Heacham Football Club and wish him every success in his new role.”
Good, who had a brief spell in charge of Downham 14 years ago, arrives at Station Road after three years with Diss Town.
He is a former Norwich City Academy coach and holds a UEFA A licence.
Good’s first game in charge will be on Saturday when Heacham travel to Ipswich Wanderers.
