Angelo Harrop has stepped down as joint manager of AFC Sudbury to to take the stop up to Vanarama South side Braintree Town.
Harrop had been joint boss of the Suffolk club since the summer of 2021 and along with Rick Andrews oversaw their historic run to the FA Cup First Round proper where they played Colchester United at The MEL Group Stadium.
Harrop started out in management with Stanway Rovers in 2013 where he had also been Director of Football - He also played for Stowmarket Town in the 17/18 when Andrews was boss.
AFC Sudbury, who missed out on the Isthmian North Division play-offs finishing seventh last season, have confirmed Andrews will stay as Manager and have wished Angelo all the best getting his chance to manage a club two levels above.
Since dropping down from The National League in 2019 The Iron were in 21st (of 22) place of the 19/20 curtailed season where there was no relegation. This season they finished 17th (of 21) with four wins in their last ten games pulling them away from the one relegation spot.
AFC have announced the signing of striker Nnamdi Nwachuku who played for Marlow in the Isthmian South-Central Division last season scoring 26 goals in league and cup games.
Nwachuku played in the Colchester United and Reading academy before making his name in non-league football with Coggeshall Town when The Seed Growers rose from the Thurlow Nunn Premier to Step Four - He scored 101 goals in 100 games for the Essex club. He moved to Welling United in October 2019 but this didn't work out and he then played for Cambridge City before moving to Marlow.
Only Tilbury, Coggeshall Town, Barking, Hullbridge Sports, Witham Town, Basildon United and Romford scored fewer goals than AFC last season so the addition of Nwachuku will certainly help their goals for column for the 22/23 campaign.
