Hadland Steps Down at Barwell

Following a 4-3 defeat on the final day of the Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central campaign, Guy Hadland revealed he was stepping down as manager of Barwell.

Hadland was appointed as the Canaries` manager in December 2018 after stepping up from the assistant manager`s role following the departure of Jimmy Ginnelly, who left for rivals and neighbours Nuneaton Borough.

Hadland joined the club prior to the 2012/13 season, ironically joining from Nuneaton with Ginnelly in charge where he had spent four years.

The now 42-year-old was a rock in the Barwell defence for a number of years before focusing on leading from the touchline rather than on the pitch.

Hadland had a wealth of playing experience having started his career at Aston Villa and then spells at Hinckley United, Bedworth United, Solihull Moors, Brackley Town and Evesham United.

Hadland took to social media to announce: “Toughest decision in 27 years but the time is right for me to step down from management. Only managers understand the role. I will stay involved in football, but it’s time to reflect”.
