Steve Groome aiming high after Graham Ward finally says yes to AFC Bridgnorth
AFC Bridgnorth are targetting promotion next season – after finally netting the manager they have chased for a number of years.
Former Wolves youngster and Crown Meadow No.2 Graham Ward was this week unveiled as the club's new boss, bringing with him a fresh new management team.
And the man he replaced at the helm, Steve Groome – who will now continue in the club secretary role he balanced with being in the dugout – is expecting big things after finally getting his man to take the reins.
"I've known Wardy for seven or eight years and to be honest have chased him every time the vacancy has come up," said Groome, who had been in the dugout since February 2019 after Adrian Stanton's departure.
"The time has never been right for him but we spoke three weeks ago, he said he had to juggle a few things and then last week said yes.
"We had a Zoom meeting with the committee members and it was all agreed over the weekend."
