🔴 Dave Thorne Returns ⚪️

We are delighted to announce the return of Dave Thorne as Assistant Manager.

A key figure of Dave Pearse’s previous spell at the club, Dave made just under 200 appearances before following Pearse to Exmouth.

He then joined Portishead, helping them secure a league and cup double before playing his part in Clevedon Town’s playoff push last season.

As well as Assistant Manager, Dave will be part of the playing squad.

Dave Pearse said: “I’m delighted to welcome Thorney back to the club as my assistant.

He is a fantastic character and has all the attributes for this job and has the hunger to push the club forward.

Even though its his first time in this job, his playing career has given him a wealth of experience already which made it an easy choice to get him in and I’m looking forward to having him back.”

Thorne said: “I’m delighted to be rejoining Bridgwater United. Everyone knows we’ve got unfinished business here and when Pearsey got in touch to offer me the chance of coming back home it was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.

I’m hungry to help drive the club forward, support the squad both on and off the pitch, and play my part in bringing success back. The ambition here is clear, and I’m excited to be part of the journey ahead.

I can’t wait to get started again, reconnect with everyone and give everything I have for the club.

Up the Robins!”

Welcome back, Thorney!

It's amazing how often things go wrong. Usually it happens all by itself but sometimes it has help. The last clip is hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣

🔴 Dave Pearse Returns! ⚪

Bridgwater United are delighted to confirm the return of Dave Pearse as First Team Manager.

Dave returns to the club, having previously overseen more than 270 matches across a seven-year spell. His appointment comes after a thorough process to find our new manager and marks a significant moment as the club looks ahead.

Speaking on his return, Dave Pearse said:
“I’m delighted to be back. There is definitely unfinished business from my last time at the club. Ian and I are absolutely on the same page and will be looking to push the club forward to where it should be. I have no interest in looking back, only forward. I can’t wait to see the supporters, who I know will get behind the team and make Fairfax Park a great atmosphere.”

Club owner Ian Davies added:
“I know I made a mistake in letting Dave go previously. I was very new to club ownership at the time, and I’m now righting that wrong. Bringing Dave back is absolutely the right thing to do. He’s a great manager and a great asset to the club. I genuinely feel that today marks a new life for Bridgwater United - a new era from this point on. Everyone is welcome at the club. I want the town to get behind Dave and the team, and I’m excited about what we can build to really attack next season.”

The club would also like to place on record its thanks to Shaun Potter, Dayle Grubb, and Mark McKeever for stepping in and helping to steady the ship during their time with the club.
