Hednesford Town have confirmed that following confirmation of the ratification of the deal from the relevant legal and sporting authorities, new owners have purchased the Southern League Premier Division Central club.
Graham Jones and Hayden Dando have become the Pitmen`s new owners.
In a joint statement, Jones and Dando said: “We are absolutely delighted to be able to complete the deal to take over Hednesford Town Football Club. This journey began some time ago and has certainly been an interesting journey to get to this point.
“We cannot thank the support of all the background teams and people enough, all of which have been involved to assist this transitional period, this historical time is much as a credit to them, and we are truly grateful to each and every person.
“There is much work ahead of us and of course with the current situation surrounding Covid-19 we have to work around this, as we plan ahead for the future and in particular the 2020/21 season with new manager Andy Morrell who has already been working hard preparing for the new season.
“We are very excited with regards our future with the Pitmen and we are incredibly focused on achieving the goals we have set out to really maximise the potential of this football club.
“If things were different in the world right now we would be gearing up for a huge party to celebrate! However, we will instead have to settle with a quiet drink together on a video chat to celebrate and then we can get on with the hard work of bringing a football club that the supporters and people of Hednesford can rightly be proud of. The journey is only just beginning.
“Please stay safe and we look forward to seeing you all getting behind the Pitmen for the 2020/21 season ahead, as we move together land-marking 140 years as a club”.
