Erkan Okay has been announced as Soham Town Rangers’ new assistant manager.
The former AFC Sudbury and England C midfielder replaces defender Lloyd Groves, who has decided to focus on playing.
Okay also joins the Greens as a player, but will not make an appearance until the new year as he is to undergo knee surgery.
He said: “I am really looking forward to the challenge ahead.
“I hope my experience will help Rob Mason and the team progress from last year.
