Bromley Football Club have announced the appointment of Karl Robinson as the club’s new First Team Manager on a long-term contract.
The club have thanked Byron Webster for his professionalism during his time as interim manager. Byron will remain part of the backroom team.
Robinson arrives at the CopperJax Community Stadium with an exceptional pedigree and proven track record in League One, having managed well over 700 competitive fixtures across the English Football League.
Most notably, he guided Milton Keynes Dons to automatic promotion to the Championship, cementing his reputation as one of the most dynamic, tactically astute, and forward-thinking managers in the division before going on to oversee consistent, high-performing League One campaigns with Charlton Athletic and Oxford United.
This appointment represents an historic milestone for the Ravens, marking the first time the club has appointed a manager as a member of the Football League and signals a clear statement of intent and underpins Bromley’s strategic vision to not only establish the club in League One, but to actively build a competitive, sustainable, and ambitious future.
Chairman Robin Stanton-Gleaves shared his delight at securing Robinson’s services to lead the next phase of the Ravens’ development:
“Karl brings an elite level of experience, tactical acumen, and a proven track record of competing at the sharp end of League One.
“His relentless energy matches our ambition perfectly, and we are unified in our vision to drive this football club forward into an exciting new era.
“I led a full recruitment process, which began the day after our previous manager’s departure. From the outset, my intention was to find someone who had worked at this level and had the experience and qualities to take Bromley Football Club on the next stage of its journey.
“It was important to take the time to work through that process thoroughly, and I am delighted that it has brought us to Karl.”
Robinson, who takes charge ahead of the upcoming FA Cup fixture with Rotherham United, expressed his pride and enthusiasm at taking the helm:
“What Robin, the board, and everyone associated with the Ravens have built over recent years is remarkable.
“There is an energy around the CopperJax Community Stadium, and my job is to take that momentum and deliver a brand of front-foot, winning football that makes our supporters proud.
“We are here to compete, raise standards, and push this club forward in League One every single day.”
