Yeovil Town manager Darren Sarll has resigned after accepting the vacancy at fellow National League club Woking.

Sarll, 39, was appointed Glovers boss in June 2019 on a three-year contract and departs after three successive league wins.

He joins Woking on a deal until the end of the 2023-24 season.

The Cards, who are 15th in the table and five points behind Yeovil, have been without a manager since sacking Alan Dowson earlier this month.

Caretaker manager Ian Dyer will resume his duties as assistant manager under Sarll while Charlie Lee will take interim charge of Yeovil for "the foreseeable future", a club statement confirmed., external

"I had a wonderful time there [at Yeovil], I had a really great time," Sarll told BBC Radio Somerset.

"Year one was fantastic in terms of the winning and some of the performances and results. Some of the people I've met over the three years have been great and I'll keep in touch with them for life.

"But it came to a point where decisions had to be made and I was really excited by this option.

"This was the option of a journey and trying to help a club maximise its professionalism on the pitch and off the pitch - almost the attraction of my experiences of working in so many different positions in a football club and how I can help Woking.

"It's a really traditional, historic non-league club and what we've got to try to do now is bridge that gap which is really tough in a division that is getting very divisive."
