The new Eccleshill United manager will be used to his surroundings, writes the Telegraph & Argus.

Steve Watson is returning for a second spell in charge after winning what turned out to be a four-horse race for the hot seat.

Eagles secretary and spokesman Mark Holstead said: "Steve has unfinished business at Plumpton Park.

"He took the club as high as third place in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division during his last stint before losing key players.

"The club looked set for success the last time Steve was in charge before the players were taken by clubs higher up.

"To say Steve lost players of that calibre, it was no surprise our fortunes started to slip at the time. That is part of the reason why he wants another crack at the job. He talks a lot of sense and he is a passionate man.

"He shares our vision for the club in the coming seasons and he is prepared to knuckle down and put the hard work in. Every time he has come in front of the committee he has ticked all the right boxes.

"Steve felt hard done by in his last spell and a lot of people in the game speak extremely highly of him. We feel we have made the right choice and we hope he will have a long and successful tenure."

There is no news yet on who will be assistant manager at Plumpton Park.
