Sittingbourne have announced the appointment of Reece Prestedge as their first team manager following Ryan Maxwell’s departure.

Maxwell left the Isthiman League side on Saturday after Sittingbourne’s loss to Ebbsfleet United in the FA Trophy and is widely expected to be announced as the new manager of Welling United.

Prestedge rejoins Sittingbourne being no stranger to the fans or the players after being a pivotal member of the coaching team for the 24/25 season.

On rejoining the Brickies Reece said:

“I feel honoured to be able to take charge of such a great club in Sittingbourne FC.”

“The club are moving in the right direction and the fans are absolutely brilliant and always bring a great atmosphere to games – pushing the team that little bit further.”

“I’m excited to be back and am looking forward to getting started Tuesday evening away at Crowborough Athletic and pushing on with the rest of the season.”
