The Combined Counties League Premier Division South side made the announcement on May 1st following the departure of Peter Ruggles after seven years.

Speaking to the Sheers website, Herbert said: “We are absolutely delighted to be joining Sheerwater. The club has enjoyed a lot of success and with the excellent facilities at the new ground in place, this is a really exciting challenge for us. We will work extremely hard to keep driving this club forward and can’t wait to get started for pre-season.”
