Icarus FC today announced that Gary Mcintosh would be taking on the role of Assistant First Team Manager.

Gary has been in the Falkland Islands since November last year and he is now looking forward to the new challenge of Icarus First Team Number 2.

As an experienced coach Gary's main role until now has been on the coaching field and at the heart of the back four, but he will now be more actively involved in the dressing room before games and engaged in team tactics with Manager John Hetherington and Coach Joe Griffin.

About his tour in the Falkland Islands, Gary told us, " It's been a busy tour and while I've been here I've played footy against Stanley FC, spent 4 days on HMS Nottingham, flown in a VC10, Hercules, Lynx and Sea King as well as seen Elephant Seal, Penguins and Dolphins.

"I don't have long left down here and can't wait to assume my new position as No2 to the Gaffer. I'm gutted I get back the day after the London Amateur Cup Final as I am very confident that we are going to go all the way this season. I would love to be there but there is no chance of me getting back any earlier."

Player Manager, John Hetherington said, "I'm delighted to have Gary move into this role, when the Chairman informed me he had sanctioned the appointment I was over the moon. I have worked closely with Tosh already this season as a coach and I am already looking forward to his return."
