The search is over. AFC Manager Mark Morsley has found his new goalkeeping coach and for Sudbury supporters it will be great to welcome back a former player in the role.

Darren Gould is the man selected to suceed David Hunt who took the position last season when Danny Potter departed the club. Darren (pictured in 2008) made 28 appearances for AFC between November 2008 and August 2009. He played for a number of other local clubs including FC Clacton, Harwich and Parkeston and Halstead Town.

Welcome back to AFC Darren. (Hopefully we can get an up to date photograph of you soon!)
