Following the announcement of @RyanMallett7 being made club captain next season, we caught up with him to get his thoughts on his appointment.

[WithamTownFC @Withamtownfc]

It’s just under five weeks since the pitch works were completed and, after a double cut this morning, it’s looking good!

With just over six weeks until the first game at the Simarco Stadium, there’s still plenty of time to keep improving on what’s been achieved so far.

We’re delighted to have Owen with us for another season.
