Woodley United have confirmed that Men’s First Team Manager, Jordan Blake, will step down after four years and more than 100 games in charge.
The club released a statement on social media that read the following:
“Following four years at the club, 1st team manager Jordan Blake is leaving to pursue other management opportunities. Jordan’s time at Woodley United has been a success, with the club reaching its furthest round in the FA Vase and contesting this season’s promotion play-offs.”
“Jordan is thanked for his achievements and contributions to the club, and he is wished all the best for the future”
In his time with the Kestrels, Jordan saved the club from relegation in a last ditch great escape in the 2024/25 season. The club sat bottom of the Combined Counties League Division One table on the 1st of March with many certain they were to be relegated, but a run of 9 games in which they scored 25 goals and secured 19 points saw them lift themselves out of the drop zone and finish one point clear of demotion.
He also led the squad to the Second Round of the Isuzu FA Vase in the 2023/24, the club’s best ever run in the historic competition. Narrowly losing out 3-2 to Egham Town having beaten AFC Aldermaston, Newest Town and Virginia Water.
Best of luck for whatever comes next, Jordan!
