Grays Athletic are delighted to announce that David Raven has agreed terms with manager Jamie Stuart, and will continue in his role as coach at the club.

Speaking to the club after agreeing terms David said:

'After working with Jamie Stuart on the recent trial matches I am convinced he is the right man to take the team forward through what will be an exciting and challenging time on and off the pitch for the club. He is well aware of the challenge facing the side and is already putting together a competitive squad and an excellent boot-room and infrastructure to take it on. When Jamie offered me the opportunity to remain at the club and be a part of his coaching team it was a very easy decision to make.

I am delighted to be remaining with the club which has become a big part of my life over the last five or so years and continuing to work with and for the best supporters any football club could wish for.'
