It is with regret that Torpoint AFC announces it has accepted the resignation of Western League manager Dean Cardew. We would like to place on record our sincere thanks for his hard work as both 2nd team manager and later 1st team manager. Dean's tireless efforts alongside Gary Williams culminated in winning the SWPL and League Cup in the 2021/22 season, securing our promotion to the Western League, the highest level the Football Club has reached in its existence.

Vice-Chairman, Ian Stephens, said "Dean always understood the financial limitations of the Football Club but did everything he could to help us progress each season, both on and off the pitch. Along with Ryan Fice, he continued our reputation of being a well-run, proper Football Club."

Director of Football, Luke Gibbons, stated, "Dean's commitment to the Football Club has been second to none over his tenure. His values and belief have matched our own whilst boosting the overall profile of the Club. The work he has committed off the pitch enabled the successes in 2022 and he's driven that into the Western League."

Dean understands the nature of football and that nothing stands still. An announcement regarding his replacement will be made shortly.

We wish Dean, his wife Kate, and their children all the best for the future.
