Wellmen has a new Kingdom

Stanway Rovers have announced the appointment of former Canvey Island boss Brad Wellmen as their new manager.

Brad was formerly the manager at Canvey Island, departing at the end of the 24-25 campaign. Brad took the top job at the Gulls in November 2021 after the departure of Mark Bentley to Southend United, and delivered a great deal of success- a Pitching In Isthmian North Play Off Final win, a Premier Play Off Semi-Final place and an Essex Senior Cup win his chief triumphs. He was previously the Assistant Manager. 

Brad has previously coached in the USA and, nearer home, at the Academies of West Ham United and Norwich City. 

Rovers have also announced a new ground naming deal. The ground will now be known as The Kingdom Stadium, after sponsors Kingdom Recycling, who you can learn more about here.
