Hunt is on to replace double act

A 2-1 defeat at home to Herne Bay on Saturday's final day saw the former Lewes manager and his number two tender their resignations almost a year after taking over from Nigel Kane, the last of three managers from a torrid 2014-15 campaign.

Despite guiding the Arrows to good runs in the FA Cup, FA Trophy and Robert Dyas League Cup in his second spell at the helm while also achieving a memorable Sussex Senior Cup victory away to League Two side Crawley Town back in November, truly consistent league form proved elusive for Wilson and his assistant, pictured, with a backlog of fixtures further hampering progress over the run-in and ultimately costing them a shot at promotion.

In a statement confirming their departures and thanking the pair for their efforts, the club said: "Wilson and Bloor cited a combination of personal and footballing reasons for their decisions to step down and everyone at the club would like to thank them both for their hard work throughout the 2015-16 season and wish them all the very best for the future."

* The Arrows are holding their end of season awards night on Saturday 7 May. Kicking off at 7.30pm, the club's business partners, sponsors, volunteers and fans are all attending the free celebration which is being backed by United's supporters' club.
