Price Commits to Larkhall

Pitching In Southern League Division One South club Larkhall Athletic have announced that manager Ollie Price has agreed to continue in his role into the 2023/24 season.

After a tricky early part of this season, the Larks finished reasonably well and, if they had been able turn three 0-0 draws into wins in April, could possibly have threatened a top five finish.

However, they ended up in 11th place – mirroring their final placing in 2021/22.

Price took over the reins in November 2021 but he was no stranger to the Larks faithful as he was a club captain for a number of years before moving on to Mangotsfield United in 2017, where he became manager.

He started his playing career at Exeter City and was in the Paulton Rovers squad that played Norwich City in the FA Cup in 2009.

Unfortunately, however, assistant manager Tom Warren has decided to leave Plain Ham and move on to new pastures.

A statement from the club read: “We will miss Tom’s commitment and effort. He and his family will always be welcome back and hope he won't be a stranger to us.”

Warren joined the Larks as a player in 2019.

On the departure of coach Glyn Jones in November 2021, he took over as Ollie Price’s assistant.

As well as having had a distinguished playing career at Southern League level with the likes of Mangotsfield United Bridgwater Town and Shortwood United, as well as with Almondsbury Town and Bitton, Warren also acted as caretaker manager at Yate Town.
