*BS*Dover Athletic are delighted to announce that manager Nicky Forster and assistant boss Steve Brown have signed extended contracts with the club until May 2014.*BF*

In addition, recently appointed fitness coach Niall Clark is fully committed as part of the management team.

Forster and Brown joined the club in October and have gradually made improvements to the playing squad and performances to put the side well within reach of a play-off place.

The addition of Clark has made a big impact on the players’ fitness and stamina. This has been evident in recent displays and helped the team produce its best football of the season.

The two year extensions made to Forster and Brown’s contracts demonstrates that they hold long term ambitions with the club beyond their immediate aims for this season.

This follows the recent commitment of Tom Wynter, Terry Dixon and new signing Ian Simpemba to the club for the next 18 months.
