We   are   pleased   to   announce   that   Paul   Searl   has agreed   to   step   up   to   the   position   of   men’s   team Manager    to    see    us    through    to    the    end    of    the season. Paul   joined   the   Club   this   season   as   part   of   the   men’s management     set-up     and     has     experience     in     the Southern Premier League with Thame United. He   will   be   closely   supported   by   Dai   Thomas   who   also joined   the   Club   this   season   having   left   Merthyr   Saints and will now be Assistant Manager. They   are   currently   finalizing   their   coaching   team   and are   also   looking   at   making   new   signings   before   the league   resumes   in   the   New   Year   with   only   10   league games   (and   1   league   cup)   remaining   as   the   team   aim to   move   away   from   the   relegation   battle   which   they are currently in. Upon   his   appointment   Paul   said:   “I   am   thrilled   to   be given   the   chance   to   manage      Aberdare   Town   and   it   is our   aim   to   try   and   turn   around   where   we   currently   find ourselves.      The   Club   would   like   to   thank   those   who have    decided    to    part    ways    with    us    but    we    are confident   that   with   those   that   remain,   plus   a   few   new faces   that   we   wish   to   add   both   on   the   pitch   and   to   our coaching   team,   that   when   Dai   and   myself   put   our   own stamp   on   things   (COVID   allowing),   we   will   give   it   a real   go   in   what   can   only   be   described   as   a   relegation battle.      It’s   going   to   be   a   tough   few   months   but   one that we are excited for”.
