Ben Sadler has been appointed manager of Uhlsport Hellenic League 1 West outfit Carterton.

Sadler steered Old Woodstock Town to a third-place finish in Division 1 East this season, but has switched to Carterton, who finished tenth in the table.

“I am delighted to have been offered the opportunity to take over as first team manager,” said Sadler.

“It is an ambitious club with unrivalled facilities in the local area and I am really looking forward to the challenge ahead.

“Once I sat down with the Tom (Amery) and Nick (Truman), it was clear from the outset that we all share the same common goals and I am certain we will build a successful club, on and off the pitch.”

Mark Massingham will remain as head of the Football Academy and take charge of a club’s under 18s in the Allied Counties League.
