JAMIE CRELLIN admits ten years have flown by at Three Bridges - even if the last few weeks will be hard to forget.
The Bridges boss joined the West Sussex club as a player in 2014, going on to manage the first team, leading them to the Isthmian South East play-off final in May.
However, a goal within the first minute at Jubilee Field set Chichester City on their way to promotion to the Premier Division and a 5-0 rout brought the home side's 14-match unbeaten run to a brutal conclusion.
Since then, Crellin has seen 41-goal striker Noel Leighton move up two divisions with Tonbridge Angels, while wing wizard Ibby Jalloh has left in search of League football.
On-loan goalkeeper Jasper Sheik, who has left Aldershot Town, looks unlikely to return too while captain and assistant manager Brannon O'Neill has joined rivals Burgess Hill Town.
It all adds up to a busy summer for Crellin, who had intended to take more time off with his partner and new-born baby.
