Although admitting Corney will be a difficult man to replace, Shoulders has now begun his search for his successor.

He said: “Neil was a great help to me in my first year managing a senior side at county level.

“I’d go as far as to say we would not have finished where we did in the league without his commitment and hard work each week.

“He has now taken the decision to step away from working in men’s football and he has his own reasons for this.
