Chris also shared his thoughts on the recent contract extensions for manager Martin Carruthers and assistant Saul Deeney, highlighting the importance of stability and continuity as the club continues to build towards its long-term ambitions, including the ongoing 5-year plan.

On Saturday, owner Chris Munroe confirmed that manager Martin Carruthers and assistant Saul Deeney will remain at Basford United Football Club ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, having signed new deals.

With the club entering the play-offs and also preparing for a Nottinghamshire Senior Cup Final, aiming to lift the trophy for the first time in seven years at the home of Mansfield Town FC, the news provides a major boost both on and off the pitch.

A huge night awaits under the lights, make sure you’re there to back the lads and show your support.
