BURNHAM United AFC first team manager Steve Hainsby has announced he has added Dave Keirle to his management team for next season.

Hainsby said: “I am really keen to build on what the team has achieved following my first season in charge.

“Dave will be able to support me and the team in achieving our goal of moving to the next level.”

Keirle, who joins following a spell of managing and playing for Berrow, said: “I really enjoyed my time in management at Berrow the season before last.

“After deciding to give up playing, I felt I wanted to stay involved in a football club and a fresh start at Burnham would do me the world of good.

“There’s a good vibe around the place and I want to be part of taking the club forward and as high as we can go.”

Burnham finished last season in mid-table of Division 1W of the Somerset League.

They will now be looking to push on and challenge for promotion into the Premier Division.

Burnham start their pre-season training on Thursday, June 22, at 7pm. New and past players are welcome.
