Garry Hill

Garry was appointed Manager in January 2011 following the departure of Graham Baker. A dramatic upsurge in league form led to the award of a two- year contract in March 2011 and he went on to take the side into the play-offs.

Garry has extensive experience in managing non-League teams, beginning with Heybridge Swifts and St Albans City. In summer 1999 he took over at Dagenham and Redbridge, where he enjoyed great success, leading them to the Isthmian League title and promotion to the Conference in his first season. The following season saw the Daggers finish in third place. They went one better in the next campaign, missing promotion on goal difference from Boston United, who were subsequently deducted points for financial irregularities but allowed to retain their League place. In 2002-03 Dagenham played in the inaugural Play-Off Final, losing to Doncaster Rovers. Garry resigned the following season after a poor league run. He also enjoyed great FA Cup runs with the Daggers, leading them to the Third Round twice and once to the Fourth Round.

In May 2004 he became Manager of Hornchurch but left when the club went into administration in January 2005. In March 2005 he joined Weymouth, leading them to promotion to the Conference the following season. The club’s financial melt-down in January 2007 led to his departure and, the following month, he became Manager of Rushden and Diamonds, leaving in February 2009.
