Hellenic League Wootton Bassett have confirmed that former manager Barry Giles has returned to the club.

Current first team boss Pete Yeardley can rest easy though Giles will take on a new general manager role at Rylands Way.

Chairman Paul Harrison was delighted to welcome him back.

"I have been looking for someone to fill a general manager's position, and Barry fits the bill perfectly.

"It will be an umbrella position where he overseas all of the other managers at the club from first team to under 18s. He will offer the managers advice and act as a key contact between them and the board."

Giles stepped down as first team manager two season's ago due to work commitments.
