Kneller and Jordan are latest Bognor Regis Town additions as new boss gets to work
Danny Hollands is looking to boost his Bognor Regis Town squad as he bids to steer the club away from the lingering threat of relegation – and has announced his two new assistants.
Hollands, who replaced Jamie Howell in the hot seat last week, says he won’t recruit players for the sake of adding numbers to his roster.
The news comes as the former Pompey skipper confirmed the appointment of Ben Kneller and Dave Jordan as his new Nye Camp assistants following the departure of Paul Hinshelwood, who was Howell’s No2.
The duo worked with the manager and players in two training sessions this week as they head in to tomorrow’s Isthmian South Central game at Hartley Wintney.
Former Gosport Borough assistant manager Kneller has worked with the Rocks boss and Jordan is a key figure in the Bognor U18s management set-up.
Hollands takes his troops to Hampshire on the back of a battling 1-1 draw at home to Westfield last week in his first game in charge. Sitting in 13th position in the table, the Rocks are four points away from the drop zone.
And the gaffer said: “We want the players to take on board certain things and improve week on week and have had two good sessions. I’ve told all the lads that I want to see what they can do, so they all have the chance to do that.
“Yes, we are looking at players to bring in but not just for the sake of it, they have to be the right players for what we want to achieve. We must treat our remaining games as cup finals and the players must show our supporters they have earned the right to wear the shirt.”
