Westfield appoint Dean Thomas head of recruitment as Marc Gorman steps away

Westfield have announced that Dean Thomas has returned to the club as Head of Recruitment, while coach Marc Gorman has stepped away from football for the time being.

Thomas will work alongside the management team on potential signings and will assist with the club's 3G plans, which the club said would secure a more sustainable future for Westfield and Woking Town Boys & Girls.

The club said Gorman's heavy workload and family commitments made it difficult for him to be around as much as he or the club would have liked. It thanked him for his work coaching the side last season, which it described as its greatest ever season.

Forward Dennis Kelmendi and forward/midfielder Sean O'Brien have joined from Kingstonian, and midfielder Kai Zini from Ascot United. Jack Knight has left in search of more regular minutes, and Kiye Martin has joined Ashford Town (Middx).
