He said: “ We’ve lost James (Pick) and Casey (Rudd) but we have some new players who are confirmed and we’re always looking to strengthen the squad so that we can have a positive season.
“I’m under no illusions that it’s not going to happen over-night. It will take a bit of time but it’s all about establishing ourselves as three really strong sides here at the club.
“If it takes two or three years then that’s how it goes but our challenge and aims are in place and we can all work towards them.”
