Blues role for Beale

Beale has been on the Blues coaching staff for a number of years and had been fulfilling the role for the past few months.

Brakes manager Paul Holleran believes the appointment will further strengthen the ties between the two clubs.

“We are delighted for Richard as this is a fantastic opportunity for him and we wish him great success,” he said.

“He will still be working behind the scenes for the benefit of our club and has been influential in a couple of our recent signings.

“We already had good links with Birmingham City but Richard’s promotion to a key role will undoubtedly strengthen those connections and be of benefit to Leamington FC.”
