Melton Town: Hendey takes charge as Thorpe moves on
The former £1 million striker left the club following the 3-2 home defeat to Blackstones, having taken over at the ambitious United Counties League side last summer.
Steve Hendey, who came out of retirement to become co-manager with Thorpe in January, will take the reins for the final six games of the season.

“I have six games to sort one or two things out and see where we go after that,” Hendey said. “The season won’t be allowed to peter out that’s for sure,
“The season has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but I think probably now the club is more stable than at any time with the players we have brought in. “They are very close to being a side to challenge for the league next year providing a few things are sorted out like discipline.
“I have a few irons in the fire for next season, but things change so quickly.”
