Carterton Town have appointed former Oxford United midfielder Paul Berry as their new manager, following the resignation of Andy Slater.

Berry moves into the Kilkenny Lane hot-seat, along with former Witney Town and Carterton player Terry Merriman.

Berry, who has a wealth of professional football experience, spent several years in the local non-League game with Witney, Abingdon Town and Bicester Town, and in 1989, became assistant boss at Witney Town before taking the manager's job at Bicester.

Since that time, Berry has gained a UEFA B coaching qualification, and has worked in boys' and youth football on the coaching staff at Oxford United's centre of excellence.

Carterton chairman Bob Taylor said: "I was very impressed with his honest approach and attitude, and I am looking forward to working with him next season."
