Erith & Belvedere Football Club are delighted to announce that first team managers Billy Hamlin and Jamie Phipps have agreed terms to stay with the club for the 2024/2025 season.

The news will be music to the ears of the Deres faithful following the continued progress made by the club, both on and off the pitch, since their arrival at the club in January.

Club co-chairperson Paul Springett had his say on the news, saying

'I sat down with Billy and Jamie prior to last night’s historic first girls match and discussed where we felt we needed to improve and what we needed to push the club forward again next season. The club is ambitious and we have a management team that's also hungry for success. It was an easy conversation probably the easiest one I’ve had since taking over the club, we all know what we want and where we need to be and I see Billy and Jamie as the pair to take us forward long into the future.

Inevitably there will be changes on the playing front, players will always come and go, this is all about incremental improvement to ensure we have a strong squad, who are prepared and ready to go on day one of the new season. And players that want to represent this proud club’
