Nicky Southall has resigned as manager of Whitstable Town.

Southall announced his decision on Twitter, thanking the Town fans for their support and saying he wanted to manage a more forward-thinking club.

Assistant manager Steve Nolan has also left the Belmont.

His departure comes just 24 hours after Scott Porter quit as Hythe Town boss.

Both clubs play in Ryman League Division 1 South and are now looking for new managers ahead of what promises to be a summer of upheaval.
