Wingate & Finchley have announced a new managerial duo of two former Premier League players in Nicky Shorey and Glen Little.
The Blues chairman Aron Sharpe has selected a team with International, Premiership and step three level experience when selecting Shorey and Little.
37-year-old former left-back Shorey joins the club with a wealth of experience after spending time at Aston Villa, Reading, Fulham and even coaching at Stevenage to name a few of his former clubs.
The former Leyton Orient academy graduate even made two England caps during his playing career and will now be keen to succeed in management.

“It was a full-time job on its own. However, we managed to whittle it down to three outstanding young promising candidates and I could have given the job to any of them to be honest.
“However, the team of Nicky Shorey and Glenn Little covered every aspect that we would ever want and I can tell you that it is an extremely exciting appointment.”
