Southern Counties East Premier Division outfit Tunbridge Wells have named their new boss after Richard Styles' decision to leave the club for Whitstable.

Former first-team coach Luke Carpenter will step into the hot-seat, with Styles having taken charge at The Belmont on Monday.

A brief statement from the Culverden Stadium club on Twitter on Friday said: "Tunbridge Wells FC are delighted to announce that Luke Carpenter has been appointed as the new first-team manager.

"Further announcements will follow regarding Luke's backroom staff."

Styles led Tunbridge Wells to eighth-place in his only completed campaign with them at the end of the 2021/22 season.
