PETERSFIELD Town have parted company with their director of football – and then promptly scrapped the role from their set up.

Gary Lines left the Rams last week after joining the club in September from Hampshire Premier League side Liss Athletic.

The committee at Petersfield Town took the decision to scrap the role in their football management team as they did not feel it was working for the club.

There were no other changes to the football management team, meaning John Robson and his assistant Matt Collins remain in charge of first team matters and Shane Brayson and his assistant Tim Farmer will continue with the reserves.

A statement released by the club said:?“We can confirm that Gary Lines has left the club in his capacity as director of football and as a committee member.

“The committee decided that the role of director of football was not working for the football management side of the club, and after Gary’s departure we will not be seeking anyone else for the role in future.

“The club would like to thank Gary for all of his hard work both on and off the pitch while he has been at the club this season.”

Lines briefly took charge of first team affairs after Andy Neal stepped down from the manager’s role in October before he helped with the appointment of John Robson as manager.
