MIKE Davies has decided to step down from the role of Director of Football at The New Saints Football Club with immediate effect due to family commitments.

"Mike has made a valuable contribution to the success of the club during his tenure and the club wishes him and his family well for the future," commented chairman Mike Harris.
"The club will advertise for the post of Director of Football, with the successful candidate working alongside First Team Head Coach Carl Darlington, assisting with the day to day coaching of the first team squad as well as being responsible for the management and co-ordination of the clubs academy programme.
"In the interim period first team assistant coach Scott Ruscoe, who is currently undertaking his UEFA 'A' Licence Coaching qualification, will take on responsibility for the role in a caretaker capacity," added Harris.
