Having been assistant under Paul Doswell at Sutton United, Ian Baird comes in to become Number 2 to Doswell here at Westleigh Park. 

The pair worked together at Gander Green Lane for the last five years at Sutton and enjoyed huge successes together. 

When Doswell took a break from management in 2019 at Sutton, Baird filled his shoes before arriving at the Hawks.

Baird will be a key part of the management structure and has a prominent role during the week during training sessions as well as his Matchday presence. 

Baird was also manager at Havant and Waterlooville between 2004 and 2007.
