Number two named as new boss

Former assistant manager Ansell, pictured, was unveiled as the new Rovers boss on Thursday, a week after Trenkel's departure.

The 36-year-old had made no secret of his desire to be handed the role after being in temporary charge for the club's last two outings and taking four points from the games against Waltham Abbey and Witham Town.

In a statement released by the club, Rovers officials also confirmed that Rob Polkinghorn had replaced Ansell as assistant manager.

Rovers chairman Tony Butcher said: “We are looking to both Gary and Rob to bring playing stability to the team while appreciating that things will need to change on and off the pitch as well as the method of coaching to enable Rovers to move forward.

“We wish Gary and Rob all the very best in this new challenge for the club as well as themselves and offer a very big Wakering congratulations to them both.

“I personally would hope with all the committee, that players or supporters of the club provide them with as much support as possible whilst welcoming them to the helm of the football club.”

He added: “We are looking to both Gary and Rob to bring playing stability to the team, whilst appreciating that things will need to change on and off the pitch as well as the method of coaching to enable Rovers to move forward.

“They will also be keeping one hand on the batten that is the club`s youth - policy of progression via the U21s and U18s."

Trenkel, 32, ended his four year reign at Burroughs Park after his side's 4-1 defeat at home to Barkingside and a run of results that had seen Rovers win just one of their last 11 outings.
