Oxford City assistant manager Joe Deeney has left the club to take over at fellow Vanarama National League South side Hemel Hempstead Town.

Deeney has been No 2 to boss Mark Jones since 2016 and has played a key role in City's two memorable FA Cup campaigns.

Jones paid tribute to Deeney's work, saying: "While we are disappointed at Joe leaving, I am delighted for Joe to get this chance.

"We owe him a lot for what he has done at the club over the past couple of years, and he certainly leaves with our best wishes”
