If so I'm guessing he has left his Clee Town contract? Personally think he's a great addition, played at a great level and is clearly keen to kick on his coaching career.

I've wondered if he carrying on turning out for Clee Town too, my guess is he'll hang his boots up.

And since then, Holloway has also said he's not going to bring any senior staff with him and is going to work with the staff here already. What hasn't been clarified is Ben's role, but I assume it'll be the standard "First Team Coach." Good luck to him. He's a good guy and really threw himself into working within the Academy - putting the hours in and mixing with everyone.

Before he was combining playing for Cleethorpes Town with academy coaching at Town wasn't he? He's been working on his coaching qualifications and working with the academy and more recently the first team. He's probably still on the books part time at Clee town but don't know if he's playing regularly, probably just around if they need him because of injuries.
