AFC Totton have announced that chairman Stephen Snow has stepped down from his role at the club, effective immediately, due to personal reasons.

The Stags have extended their "heartfelt thanks" to Snow, following years of dedicated service at AFC Totton.

Under his guidance, the club has taken significant strides both on and off the pitch and reached the National League South for the first time following promotion last year.

Director Kevin Hebenton has been appointed as Snow's temporary successor as chairman and has already started working in that role.

Reflecting on his time as chairman of AFC Totton, Snow said: "Sadly, due to personal circumstances which will remain private, I have resigned from being chairman of AFC Totton.

“I would like to say it has been an absolute privilege to be chairman these last four years, which I have enjoyed immensely.

"I would like to thank everyone at the club and all the supporters who have contributed to making it a very enjoyable experience for me and my family.

“I am also pleased to confirm Snows will remain a sponsor of the club, and I will look forward to supporting the Stags for many years ahead."

On his appointment, new chairman Hebenton said: “It is an absolute privilege and honour to be voted in as chairman of this great club, even if only on a temporary basis.

“Stephen’s leadership will be a hard act to follow, but he has offered his personal guidance and support, for which I’m grateful.

“I hope I can lead the board and the club forward on and off the pitch until a new chairman can be appointed.”

The club’s board will begin the process of identifying a permanent chairman in due course. A statement added: "We wish Stephen all the very best in his future endeavours and once again express our gratitude for his outstanding contribution to AFC Totton."
