Scott Davies signs new Slough Town deal

Enterprise National League South Slough Town have tied boss Scott Davies down to a longer deal at Arbour Park.

The former Reading FC and Wycombe Wanderers midfielder has been in charge of the Rebels since November 2022 when he took over from Jon Underwood and Neil Baker. He will now be in charge until the end of the 2027/28 season.

The Rebels are on a run of three straight league wins including an impressive 3-1 win in the Berkshire derby against Maidenhead United on Boxing Day.

Davies’ tenure has so far seen several memorable FA Cup moments including taking EFL side Grimsby Town to a replay in 2023/24 while this season the Rebels reached the Second Round Proper in a televised tie in front of 2,500 against Macclesfield.

Speaking to Slough’s official website, Davies said: “For me personally, it’s a great way to start the New Year. This club has been a part of my life for the past eight years, which is a long time in football, so for that to continue, I’m really pleased.

“This contract is testament to the hard work of the management team that helps me so much along the way. This season was meant to be a year of transitioning from the pitch to the dugout, but injuries have not allowed that to happen. However, one person that’s been a huge help over the past few years is Yella, who has allowed me to concentrate on playing when needed. I understand that a player/manager role isn’t ideal and sometimes far from perfect, but thankfully we’ve found a way to make it work.

“A huge thanks also goes to the board for showing faith in me with the new contract offer. I’d like to think that our relationship is unique, honest and as strong as ever which stands us in good stead moving forward.

“It was the easiest of all decisions, and I can’t wait to concentrate on finishing the season as well as we can whilst hopefully securing the futures of players we have within our squad ahead of the next campaign.

“I’m delighted that we can continue our journey, backed by the fantastic Rebel Army right behind us. Let’s make 2026 one to remember!”

Slough Town face Watford u21 in a friendly on Tuesday evening at Arbour Park with a 7:15pm kick-off time.
