I HAVE A NEW LEASE OF LIFE

Belford is back in business at Town

IT may have taken a few months and a global pandemic but Dale Belford has his mojo back.

The goalkeeper turned manager split from Nuneaton Borough at the start of the year where he was assistant to Jimmy Ginnelly.

His parting gift – a lengthy message to the players he was leaving behind and, in typical Belford fashion, he pulled no punches.

That message ended up on social media but Belford is typically unrepentant and ready to put his time at Liberty Way behind him.

“That message was posted on a private WhatsApp group and was then leaked,” he explained. “Things went on at Nuneaton which weren’t right and the full story will be told one day. The experience I had there meant I needed to reinvent myself a bit and go out and enjoy my football again.”
