New era begins for Ivybridge Town FC

Ivybridge Town Football Club has appointed Ben Washam and Brad Gargett as new joint first-team managers following the recent departure of former boss Wayne Gamble.

The club statement said: “Following a strong level of interest and a thorough interview process, Ben and Brad emerged as standout candidates for the role. The club received numerous high-quality applications, but the duo’s proven track record and shared vision for the future of Ivybridge Town FC set them apart.

“Ben and Brad arrive from Dobwalls FC, where they built a strong reputation for their leadership, tactical awareness, and ability to develop talent. Their achievements at Dobwalls, both on and off the pitch, demonstrated their readiness to take the next step in their managerial careers.”

Club Chairman David Graddon added: “We were impressed not only by Ben and Brad’s accomplishments at Dobwalls, but also by their passion, energy, and alignment with our club’s ambitions and values. They understand what Ivybridge Town is about and are committed to building on the positive momentum we’ve created in recent seasons.”

The club is excited to begin this new chapter and is confident that the new management team will bring fresh ideas, a strong work ethic, and a clear strategic approach to continue driving the first-team forward.
