Windsor are looking for their second manager in 12 months after Beaconsfield Town appointed Garry Haylock to lead the Rams.

Haylock replaces former Slough Town boss Jon Underwood at Holloways Park who departed at the end of the season following relegation from the Southern League Premier Division South.

A statement on the Beaconsfield website said: “Haylock, a UEFA Pro Licence coach, brings a wealth of experience gained at EFL and National League level and spent the past four months managing our partner club, Windsor FC working with our young boys, developing their skills playing at senior level as part of our Pathway program, and finished the season strongly.”

The statement also revealed Underwood’s assistant Sam Togwell would remain with the club.

Windsor finished 18th in the Combined Counties League Division One last season with Haylock himself replacing Diogo Nobre in November.

Haylock was a former professional footballer at Huddersfield Town and played a large proportion of his career in Ireland for the likes of Shelbourne, Portadown, Glenavon, Glentoran, Linfield, Dundalk and Shamrock Rovers.

He is a former manager of Hayes & Yeading United, Farnborough and Binfield.

Hilltop groundshare will make Holloways Park ‘cosy’

It could well be crowded at Holloways Park next season after Combined Counties League Hilltop confirmed a groundshare with the club. While there is no news on Windsor’s departure, the description of ‘partner club’ for Windsor would suggest they aren’t going anywhere.

There is a precedent for a three way groundshare recently at Arbour Park when Chalvey Sports and Langley shared with Slough Town. Albeit playing in a much smaller Hellenic League Division One East at the time.
