Colin takes over as manager
COLIN MERRICK is the new manager of Toolstation premier division Wellington.
The former Taunton Blackbrook boss has accepted the job having been in temporary charge since Gary Domone’s shock resignation at the beginning of January.
He will be Wellington’s third manager in a season which has seen them struggling at the bottom of the table.
A club spokesman said: “Colin has impressed everyone with his approach and enthusiasm and we are delighted to have him on board.
“He has had a long managerial career and is very well known on the local football scene.
“Getting the first team out of their current predicament is going to be a huge challenge but we are confident Colin will give it everything.”
Merrick’s first game in permanent charge will be on Saturday when Wellington are home to Odd Down (3pm).
