John Dowsett has replaced Trevor Kennett as chairman of Hythe Town.

Kennett announced his departure on Twitter, just three months after taking on the role.

A club statement said: "Trevor has had to focus on some important issues outside of football, which means he has recently been unable to give his Hythe Town role the time and commitment it deserves and requires, consequently he has decided to step down."

Kennett's successor, Mr Dowsett, returns to the role having previously been chairman at Hythe from August 2013 to December of that year.

He said: "I am delighted to once again take up the reins and look forward to continuing the momentum Hythe Town Football Club has had over the last few years.

"Tim Dixon is already putting together a strong squad and I’m sure this will evolve even more as the season progresses.

"Tim and his team are also forging much closer links with the Hythe Stars and Stripes youth set-up and putting more emphasis on the development of youth in general, which is excellent news."

Hythe lost their first game of the season 1-0 at home to Burgess Hill on Saturday.

Dixon's side are away to Herne Bay on Tuesday.
