Braintree boss Harrop agrees new deal

Angelo Harrop previously led AFC Sudbury to the National League South play-offs

Braintree Town manager Angelo Harrop has agreed a new contract for next season following their promotion to the National League.

The Iron finished fifth in National League South but beat Worthing 4-3 after extra time in the play-off final.

The victory returned them to the top flight of non-league football for the first time since they were relegated under Danny Searle in 2019.

Former AFC Sudbury boss Harrop has been in charge at Cressing Road since 2022.

"Going to be a big challenge but one I look forward to embracing," he posted on X, formerly Twitter.
