‘I love this football club’

A statement from Ellis has since been posted on the Binfield website and reads: “Through a decision based on my own personal development and ambition, I will no longer be managing Binfield FC’s Reserves & Development side as of the 2018/2019 season.

“While I love this football club, I find myself in a position today, outgrown from a youth and development culture. I yearn for the pressures of performance and results that comes within a first team environment.

“What’s next for me? At the moment, my focus is on finishing my 8 season tenure with the club. I have been offered no roles from other clubs/ teams and I’m excited to see what may or may not happen in the summer.”
