Yeovil Town have announced the addition of Jamie Hedges to a head of recruitment role.
Hedges, had previously worked at Bristol Rovers, King’s Lynn Town and most recently Aldershot Town where he worked with current Glovers’ boss, Richard Dryden.
In a statement on the club’s website on Monday, he said: “Absolutely delighted to be joining Yeovil. The discussions with Prabhu, Nicholas, and Stuart were exactly what I wanted to hear, and it’s a project I am fully bought into. I believe I can make a real positive impact and help get this club back where it belongs.”
He joined Rovers at the ripe old age of 23 having previously held volunteer scouting roles for the Gas.
A lifelong Rovers fan (but we wont hold that against him), he’s been credited with helping put together the FA Trophy winning side at Aldershot, which included the newest addition to the Glovers, Dan Ellison.
Hedges announced that he left the Shots in early November following their change of manager, with John Coleman joining.
He recently served a two-month ban for betting related offences and made headlines after accusing former Rovers’ manager Joey Barton of bullying.
Now we engage criminals, it just gets better and better.No doubt the connection with Dryden
means we won’t be getting a decent manager anytime soon.I give up!
Betting on football matches isn’t a criminal activity.
If anyone took the FA to court over their draconian rules on betting, they’d almost certainly win their case.
The only criminality here is your use of the word “criminal”. Give the kid a break! Welcome, Jamie – best of luck here.
I hope he’s having a flutter on Southend turning us over this Saturday. Easy money I would have thought.
