Welling United are pleased to confirm that Rod Stringer has returned to the club as Interim Manager.

Following the departure of Lee Martin earlier this week, Paul Barnes took training on Thursday evening as the team prepared for Saturday’s FA Trophy meeting with Royston Town.

Former Wings boss Stringer will now step in to take charge of the team on an interim basis while the club conduct a thorough process to appoint a long-term successor.

He will be in the dugout at Royston on Saturday afternoon, with Luke O’Neill acting as his assistant.
