Cocoracchio re-appointed Loxwood boss on permanent basis

The former Magpies manager stepped in as interim boss in March when Mark Beard stepped down after three years to take up a bigger coaching role at Brighton & Hove Albion.

A superb run of form over the final months saw Loxwood clinch sixth place in the Premier Division - equalling their best-ever finish.

Camp joined in 2008 and managed the reserve team to a top-two finish in 2014/15 and the under-21 team to the title in 2015/16, before taking a first-team role.

Former Three Bridges and Oakwood player Neathey has been working with the youth set-up at the club for the past three years and will now combine the first team role with running the new under-18 side.

Loxwood chairman Barry Hunter said: “Dave is a natural appointment for the club and he picks up from where he left off in the 2014/15 season.

“I have absolutely no doubt Dave will lead a team that will be organised, talented and highly competitive.

“Whilst the club will progress ambitions off the park I have no doubt Dave will continue to progress performance on the park. We are all looking forward to next season.”
