Additionally, we are pleased to welcome Nic Robbins to the Committee. Nic is a prominent person in Newbury’s football community.

Further changes to the revitalised Committee are Tom Jackson as Vice-Chair and James O’Doherty as Director of Football.

The future is once again looking bright for Newbury FC following their return to Faraday Road, thanks to the support of West Berkshire Council and the future ground development plans including a 3G pitch, all of which herald a new dawn on bringing football back to the heart of Newbury.

We wish Carl, James, Luke, Scott, Danny and Nic all the best as they lead the team into the future!
