It's possibly going to come as no surprise to some closer to me that I'm having to make one of the hardest decisions I've made..
Regarding Discoveries Jets unfortunately, I've made the decision to leave our football team.
Various reasons, mainly due to time, family and work. Both other coaches are stepping away, meaning someone really needed to step in and take on a massive role in coaching, support and match attendance. Unfortunately it's not come to fruition.
This is not a decision that was taken lightly, if we turn the clocks back to the time I was handed the team (very unexpectedly I add!) I wouldn't change anything about that. I want to personally thank every player, coach, parents, supporter, and sponsors who have been part of this journey, all the way from u8s.
Your passion, dedication, and team spirit would not have existed without your support. Whether it be lifts, advice, fundraising, support on and off the pitch. The list will be endless.
It has been a pleasure to watch the players grow and develop, we've seen players go to Top Orange league and beyond, playing for one of the top teams in the region, playing with more friends made.
I wish all the lads good luck in wherever their next journey takes them and they continue to play the beautiful game. Whether it be continuing under a new manager/coach here or continuing on to more teams all over Grimsby/Cleethorpes.
While this chapter is coming to a close, the memories we’ve made and friendships will remain. I hope to continue seeing you all with Facebook updates of all the lads winning more matches, POM awards, trophies and medals.
I'm sorry if this has come as a shock, the majority factor will always be my commitment becoming less due to the factors mentioned earlier.
Our last presentation will take place on the 2nd July.
Big send off. 🎉🏅🏆
