Wings Move Fast To Name Stringer As Bloor Successor

29 Jan 2024 By Tom Scott

Welling United have turned to a National League South title winner to save their season - moving quickly to announce Danny Bloor's successor.

Rod Stringer - who won the National League South title with Braintree Town back in 2011 - will be aiming to turn things around for the Wings who have once just once since November.

Despite their first win in nine games last Saturday, Danny Bloor was relieved of his duties at the club.

Now Stringer - who also led Chelmsford City to three play-off campaigns in the National League South - has had success with Aveley and Brentwood Town in the past.

Stringer brings experience in with him in the shape of former Ebbsfleet United and Billericay Town boss Kevin Watson.

The duo will be looking to get things off to a decent start with five consecutive home games in the coming weeks.

Tomorrow sees the Wings host Hampton & Richmond Borough before Taunton, Tonbridge and Worthing all visit Park View Road in February.

Barnet also head to South East London a week on Saturday in the FA Trophy.
