“We wish our new management team and their talented squad of players every success through the season.”
Speaking to the Western Telegraph, Wayne Jones said this on being appointed the manager of Haverfordwest County:
“I was delighted to be offered the job again with the club, and there was no way I was turning it down after speaking with the players and staff.
“I’m really looking forward to the challenge of taking the team forward and following on all the good work that Sean Cresser has done over the years.
“We’ve had a decent start to the season and I will be striving to keep the continuity going.”
