AFC Telford United have unveiled Paul Carden as First Team Manager at the New Bucks Head.

The former Southport boss will be joined in the dugout by assistant Carl Baker, pictured left.

‘’I am delighted that we have been able to attract a manager and assistant of Paul and Carl’s calibre," said Bucks chairman Andy Pyrce.

"They bring a wealth of experience to our football club and I am excited to start working with them both.

"They are both young and hungry to succeed, and they both share the same aspirations and ambitions for the future of AFC Telford United".

The club travel to Felixstowe & Walton United in the FA Trophy on Saturday in Carden's first match in charge.
