Jay Lovett is our new First Team Manager!
Haywards Heath Town FC are delighted to announce Jay Lovett as our new first-team manager. Heath Fans will know Jay well from the opposition dugout, having spent the last 3 ½ years at local rivals Burgess Hill Town FC having previously managed South Park.
As a player, Jay made over 500 senior appearances playing for a number of Sussex clubs such as Crawley Town, Lewes, Eastbourne Borough & Whitehawk, as well as 75 games playing for Brentford in the football league.
Jay will take training tonight, and be in the dugout for our vital home game against Corinthian this Saturday.
Heath Chairman Steve Isherwood commented:-
“It was a tough call to change our management team as Dale, Alex and Matt were top people as well as excellent coaches, who I am sure will be back and successful sooner rather than later. We as a board however could not see our position improving following recent results and performances. The appointment of Jay was the most obvious fit for a host of reasons – his experience in the game, he is local, well known to both the board and some of our existing squad and you can see the fire in him to progress from this league. Jay is very well connected and knows our division inside out.
Personally, I am elated that this has been able to happen and am very much looking forward to pushing into safety and building for next season.”
We’ll be bringing you comments from Jay later in the week, in the meantime though please join us in welcoming Jay to the Heath!
