Despite a mixed season the manager is determined to continue the positive work that has been done in his first season in charge.

Manager, Jon Hudson

“I knew this season was going to be a challenge, we took over a poor squad with a huge lack of quality and we knew that it would take time to build a new team.

We managed to get good people in but a mixture of injuries, availability and form meant we never really got ourselves in the right place.

We let ourselves down at times and we have had to learn a lot of lessons but it’s been for me a very enjoyable season. After two years out of management I always knew I wanted to return to the hot seat and as soon as I’d met Dave Wood and the committee at Mersey Valley I knew this was the place for me.

I worked with some brilliant people at Cheadle Heath Nomads, coaches and officials and I have taken so much from them and loved my time there. I now feel I am in the place where I can really make a difference.

We’ve already started the process of strengthening the squad next season – so keep your eyes out for some big summer signings!!
