Carl Stabler has finally been named as Littlehampton's new manager and will take charge for the first time at Pagham tomorrow.

Stabler, who has had two previous spells at the Sportsfield, has been the Marigolds' No. 1 target since Tony Elliott quit the division one outfit a month ago.

He will be assisted by Andy Baumfield, who had previously manager East Preston and Wick.

Chairman Andy Taylor said: "Carl has seen it as a big challenge and we have long term plans to take the club to where it was when he was manager before."
