Eddie French has agreed to take on the role of player/coach at Loxwood for the upcoming season.

The experienced central defender was the winner of Taylor Lacey’s player of the season award, runner-up for players’ player of the season last year, and has been ever present for the Magpies since joining from Horsham in the 2009/10 season.

Loxwood boss Dave Cocoracchio, who is also retaking the reins full-time next season, was pleased that someone of French’s experience had agreed to join his backroom staff, along side assistants Matt Camp and Gareth Neathey.
