East Thurrock United have announced that Tommy South, the founder, owner and former chairman of Thurrock FC, has joined the club as President.
Since the sad demise of his Thurrock side at the end of 2017-18, Tommy has been watching the Rocks- and we're delighted to have him back in the Isthmian fold once more.
Speaking to the club website, Tommy was demonstrably delighted with his new role:
"I would just like to say that I'm chuffed to have been invited to become president of the Rocks. I have many good friends amongst the new and previous management at the club, as well as supporters and past players. I have always been made very welcome when attending games at Rookery Hill."
Chairman Steve Wiseman was similarly overjoyed:
"Like everyone at the club, I'm delighted to welcome Tommy on board. Apart from being a great guy to have around, his vast experience and non-league knowledge will be invaluable as the club moves positively forward into a new era."
