Squad Update

Since the appointment of Andy Drury , there has been a period of change at Hythe Town as the club continues to focus on its clear objective for the season: survival.

As always, the Chairman has backed the man in charge, giving Andy the opportunity to assess the squad and make changes where he feels necessary. Survival has always been the club’s priority and, while football is never straightforward, Hythe Town remains committed to working hard, making tough decisions when required, and continuing to push the club forward.

Getting everything right in football is never easy, but at Hythe we are still trying, still fighting, and doing everything possible to ensure the club’s future.
